We analyze the results with general trends and highlight exemplary practices and innovations that stand out, serving as a guidepost for the industry and especially the survey participants.

We prepare a compare report, confidential to each participant, to serve as a yardstick for a hotel to understand the status of each specific practice within the general participant universe.

Green Lodging Survey 2018 will launch on July 9th and will remain open until August 10, 2018.  Please visit us then to take part in the world’s largest benchmarking exercise for sustainability best practices.

Green Lodging Trends Report questions are designed to identify 1) uptake of best practices and 2) new innovative practices that are emerging. We open the survey each year for a 6 weeks. Participants fill out the survey via the online Greenview Portal platform. There is no cost for hotels to participate (we fund the project with sponsorship). Results are analyzed, and each participants receives a confidential comparative benchmarking report, indicating their answer in comparison to the uptake of each practice within segment, region, and globally. Hotel company supporters receive aggregate portfolio reports for their properties under ownership or management. We publish a free, publicly available trends report highlighting uptake, and examples of innovation found (this report does not mention any performance of specific properties or brands). Then we use the results to design the next year’s survey, repeating the process. Participants’ answers are kept on file confidentially through the Greenview Portal, making it easier to update and participate in subsequent surveys.

Participants and reach will stem from Greenview’s network, partners including Green Key Global, Green Key, Greenotels, Horwath HTL Asia Pacific, Travelife and a network of hotel companies, event organizers, destinations, and industry associations. The report will be promoted throughout the year on this page, the Green Lodging News website (over 170,000 total visits), and through other hotel trade publications such as Green Hotelier, and through such well-known press release distribution services as Hotel-Online, Hotel News Resource, and Hospitality Net.

Additionally, the results will be presented throughout the year at various industry conferences and roundtables, and sent personally to corporate responsibility and sustainability executives at all major brands. The report will be pushed via e-mail to the more than 4,900 opt-in subscribers of Green Lodging News and to tens of thousands of additional hoteliers through media and other partners and sponsors. Participating hotels also will have an opportunity to receive recognition in the published report, press releases, and other external communications.

Hotel brands, management company, owners, hotel associations, and industry bodies can become supporters to advance sustainability in the hotel industry.

Hotel brands, management companies and owners will get a confidential “company-level” compare report to benchmark their portfolio against your peer groups.

Get your properties on board to learn best practices and innovative efforts by hotels, improve over time, and ultimately outperform your competitors.
