Tourism, and thus also the hotel industry, is an economic sector with rapid growth. The GreenSign certification is a recognized certificate for determining the level of sustainability of a hotel. The GreenSign degree of conformity is displayed on the certificate. This shows how many of the requirements of the certification program a hotel meets.
Both for private trips and, increasingly, for business trips, more and more overnight guests are choosing environmentally friendly accommodation.
Sustainable hotel management plays a central role in this and is today an expression of a value system that stands for innovation, stability, forward-looking planning and trusting cooperation with employees and partners with regard to ecological and social aspects.
For hoteliers who feel committed to this value system and want to communicate it to the outside world as well as have it confirmed by an independent body, the GreenSign sustainability certification is a good option, which is becoming increasingly popular, especially in Germany.
GreenSign stands for the combination of ecology, economy and social responsibility as an expression of sustainable hotel management.
At GreenSign, "green" is understood as a philosophy of an interplay of innovation, responsibility and quality to minimise entrepreneurial risks without sacrificing comfort for the guest.
GreenSign focuses on ten core areas of the sustainable hotel industry
In order to receive a GreenSign certificate, a hotel must first fill out the comprehensive catalogue of requirements in an online tool. The information provided by the hotel is first checked by the GreenSign experts. This is followed by an on-site audit, during which all information is put to the test. After completion of the test, the degree of conformity of the conformity with the GreenSign criteria is determined. This is displayed in a widget that the company is allowed to use for external communication. In addition, the percentages achieved in all ten core areas are transparently presented in a sustainability barometer. The certification is valid for three years, after which the certification process must be completed again.
Help conscious consumers to choose the right hotels, let Control Union Certifications Germany audit and certify you with the GreenSign Standard.
