Achieve standards, gain trust
Sustainability certifications set internationally recognized standards based on current scientific findings and best industry practices.
We support you in selecting the right certification system and accompany you from the GAP analysis through the application process to the implementation of all requirements – in a structured, efficient, and targeted manner.
Our GAP analysis provides a well-founded initial assessment to determine the level of conformity of your company or project with the requirements of the selected certification system. We systematically review existing processes, documentation, and measures and specifically identify areas with potential for optimization. The result is a structured report that serves as the basis for a customized action plan. This provides you not only with a clear overview of your current status but also strategic guidance for the next steps in the certification process.
Based on the GAP analysis, we support you in the step-by-step implementation of all necessary actions – from creating and completing required documentation to internal coordination with relevant teams. We conduct pre-audits or structured preliminary reviews to identify gaps early and close them in a targeted manner. We also support you with project organization, scheduling, and communication with the certification body – ensuring the entire process runs efficiently, transparently, and successfully.

The pressure to comply with international sustainability standards such as the SDGs, GSTC criteria, or ISO 14001 is increasing. In many regions around the world, governments and industry associations are already implementing stricter regulations and guidelines. A comprehensive sustainability management system ensures that companies adhere to these standards and thus avoid legal risks.
Tourism plays a significant role in achieving the global sustainability goals. The industry contributes up to 8% of global CO₂ emissions, reinforcing the need to integrate sustainable practices to reduce the environmental footprint. An NMS helps achieve measurable progress that contributes to achieving these global goals.
Sustainability isn’t just a trend, it’s a long-term responsibility. Companies that implement a comprehensive sustainability management system enhance their reputation and build trust with their customers, partners, and investors. This strengthens brand loyalty and guest loyalty.
