Exceptional venues qualify for Platinum-level ECOsmart status. For properties wanting to achieve this ultimate level of recognition (beyond Gold Status) we require an on-site validation audit. This maintains the integrity of our highest sustainability certification tier and provides valuable one-to-one feedback from our auditors. Plus, Platinum-certified properties automatically become part of the exclusive Platinum Inner Circle whose members attend regular Inner Circle meetings.

The audit fee is £500 + VAT, covering:

• Physical verification of sustainability claims
• Systems and infrastructure inspection
• Staff interviews
• Documentation review
• Best practice recommendations

Platinum-certified venues gain exclusive access to quarterly Inner Circle meetings, featuring:

• Best practice sharing sessions
• Host venue sustainability tours
• Networking with fellow Platinum venues
• Latest sustainability trends and innovations

This robust validation process ensures ECOsmart Platinum remains the benchmark for exceptional sustainable hospitality.
