ClimateScore vs. Climate Score

ClimateScore

ClimateScore was established by two passionate Danes, René Jacobsen and Jens Sørensen, who shared a vision for a more sustainable and eco-conscious travel industry. René and Jens are committed to making a tangible difference for hotels and the world. Their enthusiasm for travel is equalled by their dedication to challenging the current environmental impact of the hospitality industry. Recognizing a growing demand for transparency and trustworthiness as travellers become more aware of eco-conscious initiatives, they developed Climate Score—a tool for hotels and events to easily reduce CO2 emissions.

Climate Score

Climate Score, developed by ClimateScore, is a unique metric that converts a hotel or event’s CO2e emissions into a numerical value. This innovative method, grounded in scientific principles (LCA) and aligned with ISO 14040 and ISO-14044 standards, has undergone rigorous reviews by three external climate institutions to ensure reliability. The annual score, ranging from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the best), reflects the lowest quantified CO2e emissions per guest per day. The score is dynamic, resetting yearly with updated data and always displaying the assessment year. The Climate Score is designed to help travellers choose hotels where they can have a more climate-friendly experience during their hotel or conference stay while simultaneously encouraging hotels to enhance their climate footprint over time.
