The AH&LA Green Rating program aims to elevate sustainability in the hotel industry through structured assessments and third-party inspections. Featuring dual certification levels, hotels can earn awards based on their environmental efforts, including energy-efficient lighting, CO2 sensors, water reclamation, and recycling programs. Participation requires a fee and is assessed every two years. The initiative promotes best practices such as towel and sheet reuse, energy utility reporting systems, and creating a Green Team to foster ongoing commitment to sustainability in hospitality.
