Hospitality sustainability resources, in one place
The Knowledge Hub brings together HOLITRA’s hospitality sustainability resources: a glossary of standards-grounded definitions and an ongoing series of insights on strategy, certification, reporting and operational implementation.
Both are organized around the same six pillars as the HOLITRA Hospitality Sustainability System, so you can go from a single definition to the fuller picture of how it connects to strategy, standards, buildings, operations, reporting and continuous improvement.

FAQ – Knowledge Hub
What hospitality sustainability terms and definitions does the glossary cover?
HOLITRA’s hospitality sustainability glossary covers 68 terms spanning all six pillars of the Hospitality Sustainability System — from certifications and labels (GSTC, EU Ecolabel, Green Key, LEED, ISO 14001) to ESG and reporting terminology (CSRD, Scope 1/2/3, materiality) to building performance and day-to-day operations.
Does the glossary explain hotel operations and ESG reporting terms, or only certifications?
HOLITRA’s hospitality sustainability glossary includes terms across all six pillars, not just certifications. The Operations pillar covers terms for energy, water, waste and procurement; the Reporting pillar covers ESG, CSRD and disclosure terminology — the same breadth as the HOLITRA Hospitality Sustainability System itself.
What's the difference between the HOLITRA blog and the sustainability glossary?
The HOLITRA blog (Insights) covers hospitality sustainability strategy, certification and reporting topics in article form, while the glossary is a fixed reference: short, precise definitions of the individual terms, standards and frameworks used across the field.
Are the hospitality sustainability definitions based on recognised standards like GSTC or ISO 14001?
HOLITRA’s hospitality sustainability definitions are grounded in recognised frameworks referenced throughout its advisory work, including GSTC, ISO 14001, EU Ecolabel, Green Key, LEED, WELL, BREEAM, DGNB and GRI, among others — not generic or self-defined terminology.
How often is new hospitality sustainability content added to the Knowledge Hub?
HOLITRA’s Knowledge Hub is updated on an ongoing basis: the blog publishes new articles regularly, and the glossary is reviewed and extended as hospitality sustainability terminology and standards evolve.
