uptodate sustainable solutions supports individual hotels, small hotel groups and other GreenSign-certified establishments in implementing sustainability in a structured, pragmatic and economically viable manner. As an official GreenSign partner, we assist establishments with certification and re-certification – from analysing existing documentation and the evidence structure through to preparing for the audit and submitting the application.

In addition, we develop cost- and resource-saving strategies that identify specific areas of potential within the business and enable sustainability to be harnessed for economic benefit in day-to-day operations.

Why uptodate

1

The certification process requires less effort

We organise, prioritise and handle the time-consuming steps involved in certification and recertification – from document review to the provision of evidence.

2

Clear guidance rather than unanswered questions

Businesses know at all times which criteria are relevant, which supporting documents are missing and what the next steps should be.

3

Identifying potential savings and ways to use resources more efficiently

We view sustainability not only as a matter of certification, but also as an economic driver. To this end, we analyse potential areas for improvement in energy, water, waste, procurement, processes and internal costs.

4

Useful for day-to-day operations

Our recommendations are not purely theoretical, but are tailored to the realities of hotels, restaurants and other GreenSign-certified establishments: they are practical, prioritised and designed with day-to-day operations in mind.

5

Personalised support, supported by digital tools

Dedicated points of contact personally oversee the process. Digital tools and data analysis work behind the scenes to help establish a structure and ensure that decisions are transparent.

6

Developed with and for hospitality businesses

Our services are based on real-world projects with hotels and hospitality partners and are continually refined in line with practical requirements.
