BeCause, the innovative Danish startup focused on sustainability data management, has announced a strategic partnership with the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) to advance sustainable practices in the hospitality industry globally. This collaboration centers on incorporating WTTC’s Hotel Sustainability Basics (HSB) framework into the BeCause platform, significantly streamlining sustainability initiatives for hotel operators worldwide.

The integration of HSB into BeCause’s platform will allow WTTC to expand the framework’s reach and impact, providing hotel chains with a centralized view of their properties' sustainability progress and enhancing accountability across the industry. Julia Simpson, WTTC President and CEO, emphasized the importance of the partnership, stating, "By joining forces with BeCause, we are increasing the transparency of the sustainability process and empowering hotel groups to effectively manage their environmental performance."

Hotels engaging with the HSB framework will benefit from a clear pathway to meeting essential sustainability criteria over three years. Upon successful annual verification through WTTC partners such as Green Key and SGS, hotels receive a badge signaling their commitment to environmental stewardship, a valuable asset in attracting eco-conscious consumers.

Frederik Steensgaard, CEO and Co-founder of BeCause, highlighted the operational efficiencies brought by this partnership, explaining, "Hotels often struggle with sustainability data management. Our platform not only simplifies this process but also enables hotels to integrate their sustainability efforts with global verification standards seamlessly."

Looking ahead, BeCause plans to automate the transmission of data to verification partners, further easing the certification process for hotels and encouraging them to adopt more rigorous environmental practices. Additionally, the platform’s AI capabilities allow for the aggregation and application of sustainability data across various reporting frameworks, ensuring that hotels can achieve regulatory compliance and qualify for additional green certifications efficiently.

This partnership marks a significant step forward in promoting sustainable tourism, demonstrating a shared commitment between BeCause and WTTC to fostering environmentally responsible hospitality practices that pave the way for a more sustainable future in the travel and tourism sector.
