A Green Tourism Certified digital certificate confirms that the named business has successfully completed the Green Tourism Certified programme and achieved certification following an independent third-party audit.
Green Tourism Certified is a structured sustainability standard developed specifically for tourism and hospitality. Businesses work through 10 practical modules aligned with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles, providing evidence against the criteria relevant to their operation.
What certification confirms
To achieve Green Tourism Certified status, a business must:
- complete the required Green Tourism Certified modules
- provide supporting evidence against the applicable sustainability criteria
- submit its completed assessment for independent third-party audit
- successfully meet the requirements of the Green Tourism Certified standard
The audit is carried out independently by Green Business UK Ltd, separately from the guidance and support provided during the certification programme.
A successful audit results in Green Tourism Certified status for the certification period shown on the business’s digital certificate.
