Certifications for Green Stay

HRS’ Green Stay Initiative Earns ISO Certification; Sets new Standard For Sustainable Corporate Hotel Programs

HRS, the leading global corporate lodging and payment technology platform, announced today that its award-winning Green Stay Initiative has now secured two prominent certifications. In late June, GUTCert, an accredited auditing organization in the European Union, conferred certification under the requirements of the International Standards Organization (ISO) 14067.

The auditing process also verified that Green Stay complies with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHGP) Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standards. Both standards apply globally, giving multi-national corporate travel programs unrivaled assurance when they use HRS’ Green Stay Initiative to report, reduce and remove carbon emissions tied to corporate lodging.  

HRS is the only travel-focused technology company to hold both certifications.  

The ISO certification, in conjunction with the GHGP accreditation, makes the Green Stay Initiative the superior solution for global travel programs as they focus on sustainable lodging practices and stricter corporate sustainability reporting for Scope 3 emissions. The provision of carbon footprint data – on a per-property basis – calculated by Green Stay’s verified methodology gives corporations the data they need to implement a sustainable procurement strategy, nudge travelers while booking and add business travel emissions data into corporate sustainability reporting.  

The data generated by the Green Stay Initiative’s reporting function is compliant with standards issued by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) in the European Union. Green Stay’s detailed output also goes beyond the Global Business Travel Association’s recently released hotel sustainability standards.
