Environmental Sustainability for the Hospitality Industry

Investing in green products can reduce your costs and create more attractive spaces

Aside from the obvious environmental benefits of purchasing GECA certified products and services, many businesses notice flow-on cost benefits due to their responsible procurement.

A hotel with a responsible procurement policy can enjoy significant commercial, environmental, and social benefits. Selecting independently assessed sustainable goods and services enhances a company’s reputation, increases customer loyalty, and attracts new clients.

Using ecolabel-certified green building materials is known for increasing asset value, reducing operating costs and improving the ‘feel’ of your hotel or restaurant. Customers expect green building as part of a quality experience, and with more products than ever now certified and readily available, there is no reason not to consider GECA certified products for your next project.

Our standards align with the world’s best practices

Applying for GECA certification is simple, but our testing and third-party assessment process is transparent and comprehensive. Thus, you can trust the strength of a product’s sustainability claims when it carries the GECA ecolabel.

Whether you’re looking to build from scratch or just need a furniture revamp, any investment in GECA certified products is worthwhile and easy—just search our database for a list of businesses selling the quality products or services you’re looking for.

What our clients say about us

Being an environmentally aware business, we needed a way to ensure, adhere and implement sustainably preferable strategies into our business plan. The team at GECA is co-operative and their guidance ensured that we not only complied with green standards, but exceeded them. The process is credible and well-received in the market place and ensures that we are set apart from the not-so-genuine ‘greenwashing’ companies.

Fitting out such a large project with sustainably preferable furniture is rewarding. That a well-renowned and international company would choose to use GECA certified Office Link Group furniture is exciting and without doubt, a step in the right direction for improving sustainability in the workplace. The whole work zone looks great — the architect has done a wonderful job of creating the space. With the addition of the sustainably preferable products that are proven to improve the health and wellbeing of those in the workspace, it is now a really nice place to work.

OFFICE LINK GROUP

The entire everroll range of rubber flooring is certified under the Good Environmental Choice Australia (GECA) Floor Covering Standard. It achieves a Level A 100 per cent item score in the GBCA Fitout Calculators Guide v1 for Flooring. We chose to become GECA certified because we feel that it is important to communicate to consumers that we take environmental responsibility seriously and GECA helps us do this. As well as its sustainable properties, everroll offers architects and designers other benefits including durability, sound absorption, slip resistance, modular designs, aesthetic appeal and comfort.
