ECOsmart for Hotel Groups

Set of four circular sustainability certification badges with “Green Hotels & Meeting Venues,” branding “ECOsmart” and "Greengage", year label "2026,” and each with either “Bronze Award,” “Silver Award,” “Gold Award,” or “Platinum Award”

What is ECOsmart for Hotel Groups?

A faster, simpler way to implement credible sustainability certification across your hotel portfolio – reducing duplication and property-level admin by managing more of the process centrally.

Every property is different, but that doesn’t mean every part of the certification process needs to be repeated. 50 hotels shouldn’t mean 50 separate certification processes!

ECOsmart takes a group-first approach, allowing information and evidence that applies across your organisation to be managed centrally. Individual properties can then focus on the information and actions specific to their hotel.

Simple, fast sustainability certification for hotels & venues

STEP 1: Share group-level information

Complete information that applies across the organisation once, rather than asking every property to provide it separately.

STEP 2: Speed things up with SMARTscan AI

Use existing documentation to speed up data gathering and reduce manual input.

STEP 3: Get implementation support

Greengage provides practical support with a group rollout, so teams understand the process and what information is required.

STEP 4: Complete property-level assessment

Each hotel provides the information and evidence specific to its own operations.

Once certified, see the whole picture

Your portfolio. One clear view.

We’re developing the ECOsmart Group Dashboard to give sustainability and operations teams a clearer view of certification across their estate.
The dashboard will bring key information together in one place, making it easier to manage certification across multiple properties.

The dashboard is being designed to show:

Certification status & levels | Expiry dates | Audit history | Upcoming site visits

Our Future First Charter has always been about turning ambition into action, creating meaningful improvements that benefit our customers, our people and the communities around our venues. Achieving ECOsmart Gold across every venue is independent recognition of that commitment and gives organisers confidence that sustainability is embedded throughout our operations, whichever venue they choose. As expectations around sustainable events continue to grow, we want to make it easier for organisers to select venues that support their own environmental goals. This certification demonstrates that sustainability isn’t an initiative running alongside our business – it’s part of how we operate every day.

Managing Director - The Venues Collection
Greengage is constantly trying to develop, grow and improve – it’s not just a certification. You don’t just get your ECOsmart certification and a “there you go for the year”. Some others are quite like that. But with Greengage, we benefit from a support network. I’ve met some really interesting hoteliers and people from other kinds of service industries. It’s so much more than just a certificate on your wall – with active engagement, information, and ongoing development.
RUTH DUGGAN
Group Head of Procurement & Sustainability - The Doyle Collection
These certifications are a fantastic reflection of the work taking place across our portfolio. Sustainability has long been an important focus for our venues, and we’re incredibly proud to see venues across the portfolio recognised at Platinum, Gold and Silver level. Together with Greengage, we’re helping venues benchmark their progress, share best practice and provide event organisers with greater confidence and transparency.
JO AUSTIN
Sales Director - Lime Venue Portfolio
Warwick Conferences has been partnered with ECOsmart for several years, and we are proud to have achieved Platinum certification. The framework has given us a clear and credible way to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to sustainability, while helping us identify practical areas for improvement and maintain recognised standards. Andrew and the Greengage team have been fantastic throughout the process - knowledgeable, approachable, and always on hand for guidance and support. ECOsmart has become a valuable part of our sustainability journey and a great way to demonstrate our commitment to our customers and partners.
