Developed in partnership with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR(R) program, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the United Nations Environment Programme, qualifying hotels and B&Bs will be awarded TripAdvisor GreenLeaders status based on the green practices the property has in place.
The TripAdvisor GreenLeaders program considers a property’s holistic approach to green practices and ranks them based on four levels of participation — Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum . The more green practices a hotel has in place, the higher its TripAdvisor GreenLeaders level.
A comprehensive list of eco-friendly practices are evaluated, from linen and towel re-use, recycling and composting through to solar panels, electric car charging stations and green roofing.
