Our certifications
“Since 2015, our task has been to accompany companies on their way to sustainable management and to certify their status. We have developed our conformity assessment programme in line with international frameworks. We assess the status of sustainability and, following an on-site audit, certify the company’s degree of conformity. With our transparent assessment programme, companies can improve their sustainable business practices in the future. We are convinced that sustainability is the way forward and are happy to support you in this endeavour.”

Suzann Heinemann

We want to encourage companies to commit to ecological, socially responsible and sustainable management through meaningful changes and to live this with joy and conviction. Through sustainable and responsible corporate management, companies become more resilient and are better able to hold their own in a rapidly changing market.

Stephan Bode, Managing Director & Mentor
“Certification with GreenSign Hotel is very balanced and demanding. The catalogue of questions is very close to a holistic view of sustainability, with the exception of economic indicators. For the SCHWARZWALD PANORAMA, GreenSign is a useful partner and source of inspiration that I wouldn’t want to do without.”

Moar Gut Hotel (AUT)

Nora Lipp, Head of Marketing
“Sustainability has been a major issue for us in all areas of the hotel for decades. Thanks to our GreenSign certification, it is now instantly recognisable that a stay with us at the Moar Gut is ecologically compatible, socially responsible, close to nature and simply ‘green’. We are very proud of the GreenSign certificate! For years we have been showing that luxury holidays for families and sustainable travel are possible. Now this has been officially confirmed by a neutral audit. Of course, this motivates us to focus even more strongly on our sustainability ideas in the future.”

Frequently asked questions
Is GreenSign a recognised sustainability system?

GreenSign has been developed under the strong influence of science and practice and is characterised in particular by a simply structured and rapid verification system for companies to implement. In the development of GreenSign, the GreenSign Institute has adapted industry-independent and therefore very unspecific systems (e.g. EMAS, ISO 14001, ISO 26000) in a practical way and concretised them in the form of an online questionnaire for measuring and evaluating sustainability performance. GreenSign Institute certifies hotels with the GreenSign Hotel Standard, which is recognised by the GSTC (Global Sustainable Tourism Council). The required sustainability criteria are checked by a subsequent audit directly at the company.

How long is a GreenSign certification valid for?
GreenSign certification is valid for three years. During this time, the company has the opportunity to make its operations even more sustainable in order to achieve a higher level of conformity at the time of recertification.
How much does a GreenSign certification cost me?

You can find here all prices.

How can I communicate our sustainable efforts after certification with GreenSign?

In addition to the certificate stating the GreenSign level achieved, every company certified with GreenSign receives a bar chart that transparently shows the progress made in the individual core areas of certification. The more sustainably the business operates in an area, the further the bar extends in the respective area. This transparency gives customers and guests an open and credible insight into the company’s sustainability activities. You can find more tips on how to communicate your GreenSign certification here.
