Hubli, a prominent online marketplace for corporate meetings and group hotel lodging, has announced a partnership with BeCause, a tech start-up revolutionising sustainability data management in the hospitality sector. This collaboration is set to transform how corporate clients make eco-friendly hotel choices.Through this partnership, Hubli will now offer an extensive list of over 25,000 eco-labelled hotels. This integration is facilitated by BeCause's sustainability API, which will allow real-time sustainability data, including energy and water usage, to be incorporated into Hubli's platform.

Streamlining Sustainability in Hospitality

The partnership's primary objective is to automate the accreditation process for these hotels through an API. Hubli users will gain valuable insights into each hotel’s environmental impact, empowering them to make informed, sustainable decisions. Ciaran Delaney, Founder and CEO of Hubli, commented on the partnership, saying, “We are excited to work with BeCause to automate and scale our sustainable hotel content around the world. This collaboration empowers global enterprises to meet in the most cost-effective and sustainable way possible.”

Driving Sustainable Meetings and Events

Hubli’s sustainability module is designed to assist users in planning meetings with minimal carbon footprint, booking sustainable venues, and reducing waste by eliminating items like single-use plastics. The platform previously allowed hotels and venues to upload third-party sustainability accreditations manually and connected with environmental certification bodies such as Green Key.

Expanding the Reach of Eco-Certification Data

BeCause CEO and co-founder Frederik Steensgaard expressed excitement about the partnership, noting its potential impact on Hubli's service offerings to its enterprise client base. “Our ongoing partnership with Hubli demonstrates how BeCause can help booking marketplaces easily ramp up the availability and visibility of a wide range of hotel sustainability data,” said Steensgaard.

This initiative marks a significant step in promoting sustainable practices within the hospitality industry, providing a more extensive range of options for environmentally conscious businesses and travellers.
