Good for the Environment, Good for Business
Stage 1: Self-Evaluation
Familiarize yourself and your staff with the program and the key aspects of environmental management for lodging facilities. Conduct a review of your current practices and identify areas to improve. When you are ready, complete the Green Lodging Survey.
Stage 2: Assessment
Audubon International Green Lodging staff will review your survey and prepare an environmental performance report with suggestions about how to improve. Completed surveys and reports are confidential and only accessible to you and program staff.
Stage 3: Eco-Rating Awarded
An eco-rating is awarded based on your overall survey score.
Stage 4: Verification
Within a year of awarding your eco-rating, Audubon Green Lodging staff will direct an independent verification of your facility to assess its environmental best practices.
Stage 5: Continuous Improvement
You can increase your eco-rating! Tools are available to help you implement and expand environmental practices, including online resources and fact sheets.
