BeCause, a technology start-up that helps travel and hospitality companies manage their sustainability data, announced an expanded partnership with Hubli, an online marketplace and booking platform for corporate meetings, events and group hotel lodging.

This partnership, according to the announcement, will allow Hubli to add an ever-growing list of over 25,000 eco-labelled hotels on its platform, giving clients better visibility on a hotel’s environmental footprint and allowing them to book options that comply with their environmental, social and governance policies.

With the BeCause sustainability API, Hubli will be able to collect sustainability data from over 60 Travalyst-recognized certifications and automatically map it to hotels in its platform in real-time, providing data such as energy and water consumption and many other attributes BeCause will be aiming to roll out support for this year. Hubli users can then identify which properties are sustainable according to internationally recognized standards. Travalyst is a global travel sustainability platform.

Prior to the BeCause partnership, Hubli allowed hotels and venues to upload third-party sustainability accreditation while also connecting to environmental venue certification bodies such as Green Key. Hubli will maintain the option to upload accreditation, particularly for non-hotel venues and partner with BeCause to fully automate over 25,000 hotel accreditations via API.
