Prove to travellers, owners, employees, investors, that you’re committed to environmental sustainability.
Our standard for vacation homes is based on 10 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Aside from the moral imperative, adopting a people, planet, profit strategy for your vacation rental business comes with many benefits: more bookings, less costs, retaining owners, pleasing investors, regulators and employees, and reducing the environmental impact of the tourism industry.
Having one common standard for our industry means that we can give travellers the power to choose rental companies that are truly committed to sustainability.

Our mission is to establish the most widely recognised sustainability standard for vacation rentals, serving as a catalyst to:
- reduce emissions of 10 million global vacation rentals
- influence 450 million annual guests to reduce their own household consumption
Our ultimate sustainability recognition is based on an over-time decrease of electricity, gas and water consumption of vacation rental stays.
In order to achieve this we give you access to energy meters and to a web based app showing real-time consumption. Via persuasive communication, guests are encouraged to save resources and reduce waste. Option to charge guests for their consumption.
Your first step is to get the "Committed" badge. This sustainability recognition proves that your rental is environmentally friendly. You will then be entered in a queue to receive the hardware and guest facing app.
