Independent sustainability specialist, Greengage Solutions, has become an accreditation partner of Global Hotel Alliance (GHA), the world’s largest alliance of independent hotel brands and creator of the award-winning loyalty programme, GHA DISCOVERY.
GHA’s hotel brands are able to use Greengage’s ECOsmart accreditation to identify Green Collection hotels, resorts and palaces in the global portfolio that follow sustainable practices that preserve the natural environment and benefit local communities in the destinations where they operate.
GHA represents a collection of over 800 properties from 40 hotel brands, located in 100 countries around the globe. Launched in March 2023, Green Collection accounts for a quarter of the portfolio, helping the 25 million members of the GHA DISCOVERY loyalty programme make conscious accommodation choices.
All Green Collection properties have attained at least one certification from a roster of globally, regionally or locally recognised organisations aligned with UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Greengage is an accreditation partner for several GHA DISCOVERY properties, including The Doyle Collection hotels in the UK, Ireland and US as well as Pan Pacific London.
Andrew Perolls, CEO of Greengage Solutions, comments: “It’s clear that sustainability and preserving the environment are international issues. So we’re delighted to be partnering with hotels in the Global Hotel Alliance portfolio to help them achieve recognised accreditation to the highest international standards.”
Jelena Kezika, Senior Director Strategy of GHA comments: “As we witness the growing importance of sustainability for members of the GHA DISCOVERY programme and hotel guests, we welcome the commitment of our hotels to sustainable practices and collaboration with recognised organisations such as Greengage’s ECOsmart.”
