Hotel booking platform HRS has updated its back office for hotels participating in its Green Stay sustainability programme, making it easier for accommodation providers to submit carbon emissions data and respond to buyer RFPs.
The Green Stay Audit Platform has been rolled out to both independent hotels and chains, and features an AI-powered Green Stay Assistant to help users understand what is required to attain each level of the sustainability programme.
The new platform simplifies data submission through an intuitive process, according to the company. “Hotels can easily enter key metrics tied to energy use, water consumption and waste volume through a standardised and guided process,” HRS stated. “This significantly reduces the burden on lean teams and allows properties to participate in corporate RFPs without requiring additional staff or external consultants.”
The company expects the improved platform to increase hotel participation in RFPs and see more accommodation providers submitting verifiable carbon footprint data.
HRS noted that properties achieving the Advanced and Professional levels in its Green Stay programme earned respectively 15 and 19 per cent more room night bookings over the past year.
“By removing barriers for hotels on their sustainability efforts, HRS ensures that corporate customers get more consistent, transparent and actionable data, helping them meet their climate targets and optimise their travel programmes,” added HRS.
The company says hotels in more than 180 countries, including more than 600 chains, currently participate in Green Stay, which helps travellers and bookers identify more eco-friendly hotels at the point of sale and provides corporates with emissions reporting information.
The platform also creates “RFP-ready” sustainability reports for hotels that are integrated in their responses to RFPs generated by buyers using HRS’s sourcing platform.
HRS recently won the Sustainability Partner of the Year – Data and Reporting Providercategory at the BTN Group’s Business Travel Sustainability Awards 2025.
