“Completing the STEP program was an intensive process and very worthwhile for us. It walked us through the steps necessary to evaluate where we are today and what we could and should be doing in the future. Environmental, socio-cultural and economic responsibility is important to us and our guests, and STEP is a great tool for us to guarantee our ongoing commitment to sustainability. The STI staff involved were very knowledgeable and helpful.”
—Britta Diettrich, General Manager, HI-Portland, Northwest Hostel
According to PhoCusWright's 2009 report on Going Green: The Business Impact of Environmental Awareness, 56% of U.S. travelers are skeptical of what companies are telling them about green practices. STEP is one of the best ways to validate your company's "green" claims. Both the STEP and Sustainable Travel International logos are globally recognized brands that help travelers make informed decisions about the travel companies they patron. STEP assures travelers that eco-assessed and eco-certified products and services are backed by a strong commitment to sustainable business practices.
