Self-evaluation done?

Then nothing stands in the way of the GreenSign Audit.

After the certification process has been completed with a self-evaluation on the part of the company, an audit by qualified GreenSign Institut employees or external auditing partners takes place to ensure the highest possible quality assurance. The auditor’s visit to your company is followed by an audit report with the evaluation and confirmation of the GreenSign level as well as recommendations for the further development of the company’s sustainability activities.

Ina Büschemann

According to Lao-Tse’s wisdom “The longest journey begins with the first step”, I encourage companies to join us in joyfully and easily taking the decisive steps towards sustainable action and the protection of our planet.

After her business studies and many years of professional experience in the financial services sector, Ina Büschemann dedicated herself entirely to the topics of quality management and sustainability as an independent entrepreneur (production/trade in coffee). Her love of travel and commitment to social projects quickly brought her into contact with the hotel industry and the issues of sustainable tourism. As a business consultant and auditor, she shows that everyone can enjoy contributing to economic stability, fairer distribution of resources and an intact environment.

Annett Reimers

“With a GreenSign certification, a conscious rethinking of the various teams in the hotel industry is triggered and can also lead to better economic returns in the long term – a win-win situation.”

As a hotel consultant with heart, trainer and coach, Annett has been active nationally and internationally in recent years. She gained her first hotel experience during her school years, but has been living her vocation and enthusiasm for the hotel industry as a career changer (only) since 2016. The hotel industry and tourism must act much more sustainably worldwide so that our children and grandchildren can still travel. Every person, professionally and privately, can contribute to sustainability and animate people from their environment to act more consciously step by step. Accordingly: Let’s start to be GreenSigned – A big goal that can be implemented with many small steps and deeds by everyone together.
