What bodies have recognised the Valpas standard?
General
The Valpas certification is independently verified by Bureau Veritas and recognised by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (WSHA).
It is ECGT-compliant and aligned with the major sustainability and asset frameworks — GRESB, BREEAM, LEED, the EU Ecolabel, and the EU Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition (ECGT) Directive — so the proof flows directly into OTA, corporate-procurement and ESG reporting.
