Green Globe

Green Globe is the internationally renowned program that provides certification for sustainable operations and management of businesses, which traces its roots back to the Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992. Green Globe provides certification, training and education as well as marketing services in 83 countries worldwide. The company is based in Los Angeles, California with a global network of partner companies and auditors.

Every company is examined by an independent accredited auditor. The certification takes place on a yearly basis - alternating in between on-site and desktop audits. Green Globe certification delivers economic, social and ecological sustainability to your business, while improving performance and increasing public recognition.

Green Globe Standard The Green Globe Standard offers companies a professional, industry-tailored framework to comprehensively evaluate achievements in the field of sustainability based on the four pillars: Sustainable Management, Social / Economic, Cultural Heritage and Environment. The applicable sustainability criteria and indicators vary according to region, business segment and locational factors. Green Globe developed the first International Standard for Sustainable Travel and Tourism in 1998. Today, the standard consists of 36 criteria and over 252 indicators. It includes mandatory criteria and businesses need to achieve a compliance score of at least 51% of all applicable criteria. Green Globe is an affiliate member of the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) and the Green Globe Standard, which is updated yearly, is recognized by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).
