What is the B Greenly Certificate based on?
All certifications are issued by private entities—there are no certifications granted by public or official bodies. B Greenly certifications are grounded in the leading global organizations recognized for their work in sustainability, such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the 2030 Agenda, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the metrics of the World Economic Forum (WEF), various European Union (EU) Directives and Regulations, and any other relevant sustainability standards.
What is the B Greenly methodology?
The B Greenly methodology is based on parameters and metrics derived from the most recognized international organizations in the field of sustainability. Ten areas directly related to the Venue are evaluated and audited. Each area includes different indicators aligned with ESG criteria, assessing sustainability comprehensively—including social, economic, and environmental dimensions. It is a fast and agile system that allows us to certify a Venue anywhere in the world while ensuring a high-quality certification process.
The certification is accompanied by a Sustainability Report detailing each phase of the certification process, along with proposed areas for improvement and concrete action plans.
Can B Greenly help make a Venue sustainable without issuing a certification?
Absolutely. B Greenly can collaborate in planning a Venue to ensure it is sustainable.
We offer several tools for this purpose, including a Best Practices Manual for Sustainable Venues, Strategic Sustainability Plans, Partial Action Plans, implementation of specific actions, and more.
Where can I find references to B Greenly-certified Venues?
On both the B Greenly website and our social media (Instagram and LinkedIn), you can find country-specific references to certified Venues.
In addition, our clients often promote their certification on their own media and social platforms.
How long is the B Greenly Venue certification valid?
The B Greenly Venue Certification is valid for three years from the date of issuance. Renewals are granted for the same period.
Is there a specific type of Venue required for B Greenly certification?
B Greenly certifies Venues of all sizes and types. Our parameter lists and methodology are adapted to all kinds of Venues, taking into account indicators such as size, capacity, budget, and more.
How do I promote that my Venue is B Greenly-certified?
We feature all certified Venues on our website and social media. Our clients also promote the certification through their own media channels, websites, and social networks.
In addition, a certification plaque is included with the documentation for public display.
Can the B Greenly Certification affect the quality, design, aesthetics, or any other aspects of the Venue?
The B Greenly certification contributes to the improvement of organizational management processes, making them more effective, efficient, and, above all, more sustainable.
Any suggestions or proposals are always aimed at enhancing operational aspects, not altering design or aesthetics unless improvements align with sustainability goals.
What benefits does the B Greenly Venue certification offer me?
The certification brings numerous benefits, both tangible and intangible. Chief among them is the reputational value it adds to the Venue—though it’s essential to have a solid communication strategy, an area in which B Greenly provides support. Additionally, the certification is a valuable commercial tool that helps attract new clients interested in renting the Venue’s spaces.
