Sustainability Claims

Hostelworld Group publishes an annual sustainability report which in 2021 outlined key issues such as greenhouse gas emissions tracking, waste reduction in offices, and enhancing digital solutions to reduce paper usage. Hostelworld is committed to embedding sustainability into its operations, as evidenced by initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint and improve digital transaction processes.

Note: While these are the brand's sustainability claims, third-party certifications can provide more reliable verification of sustainable practices. And always look for the following criteria for a sustainable brand: use of sustainable materials (organic, recycled), fair labor practices and worker safety, transparent supply chain, eco-friendly packaging, and commitment to reducing environmental impact through waste reduction and energy efficiency. Preferably mentioned with numbers and percentages.
