📋 Eco-Verify: Hotel ESG Waste Risk Checklist

The Compliance Test: Are Your Green Claims Auditable?

This checklist helps hotel leaders identify critical gaps in their current waste management data, ensuring they meet the rising demands of regulators, certifiers, and eco-conscious guests.

Instructions

Answer 'Yes' or 'No' based on your hotel's current documentation processes.

I. Chain of Custody & Verification

1. End-Point Verification: Do you receive a digital, verified receipt from the final recycling/processing facility (not just the collector) confirming the waste was diverted?
High if No
2. Fraud Immunity: Can you guarantee that a waste collector hasn't simply mixed your carefully sorted recyclables with landfill waste to save time/cost?
Very High if No
3. External Audit Readiness: Can you generate a complete audit report proving the destination (not just the pickup) of every ton of waste from the last 12 months in under one hour?
High if No

II. Operational Efficiency & Financial Value

4. Data Consolidation Cost: Does your team spend more than 5 hours per month manually compiling, correcting, and validating waste data from paper manifests and invoices?
Medium if Yes
5. Strategic Benchmarking: Can you easily compare your hotel's waste diversion rate (by material type, e.g., plastic) against the regional average for similar-sized competitors?
Medium if No

III. Brand & Revenue Generation

6. Real-Time Marketing Asset: Do you have a real-time, embeddable "Sustainability Score" or verifiable metrics your Sales & Marketing team can use on your booking page today?
High if No
7. Risk Communication: If a regulator or major corporate client asked for proof of your carbon footprint reduction due to recycling, would you have the quantified COâ‚‚e data ready?
High if No
