Event booking platform Hubli will display sustainability certification and accreditation data for venues from sustainability data management startup BeCause under a new partnership, the companies announced Wednesday.
BeCause has gathered “hotel sustainability data from more than 60 accreditation bodies worldwide,” BeCause CEO and co-founder Frederik Steensgaard said during a webinar announcement of the partnership. Through access to BeCause’s API, Hubli users searching for meeting venues will be able to see that live certification information, as well as other data on venues’ environmental footprint.
Along with certifications, Hubli users will see “more granular information such as carbon emissions, water consumption, EV charging stations … in real time” Steensgaard said. BeCause plans to “roll out support” for “many other attributes” this year, the company said.
Hubli has allowed venues to upload third-party sustainability accreditation, “while also connecting to environmental venue certification bodies such as Green Key,” according to Hubli. The company will maintain this capability, “particularly for non-hotel venues on the platform,” Hubli founder and CEO Ciaran Delaney said.
