The GreenSign certification was carried out in a very professional and supportive manner. We felt fully supported in our efforts to align our new hotel with transparent sustainability. Especially the involvement of our employees in the whole topic of sustainability, climate protection and corporate responsibility will give us many competitive advantages and a positive process optimization in the hotel. The dictionary for the hospitality industry was a real help.
Sophie Redder
Green Sign is a very complex certification that goes into the individual areas in great detail. A lot of content is queried that is not documented in normal business operations. However, the system is presented in a very clear and user-friendly way so that you can keep a good overview of the progress made. The contact persons are always easy to reach and support the certification professionally and in the interests of the company.

Kay Wegener
The entire audit and certification process was extremely detailed and specific. We found the joint evaluation particularly positive, as we received valuable tips that could be implemented immediately. Through this cooperation, we were able to further strengthen it, develop numerous new ideas and identify potential areas for future topics.
