Hotel sustainability

Effortless sustainability data integration for hotel RFPs.

Streamline your hotel group's RFP responses—save time, reduce friction, and win more business with BeCause's automated sustainability data solution, built for hotel chains.

What is an RFP?

A Request for Proposal (RFP) is a formal document issued by a business or event planner to invite hotels to submit detailed bids for group bookings or events. It outlines the company’s specific needs—such as the number of rooms, meeting spaces, dates, and amenities—so hotels can tailor their proposals accordingly. This process helps businesses compare offers and choose the best hotel partner for their event or corporate travel needs.

Growing demand

Corporate clients increasingly prioritize sustainability credentials when selecting hotel partners for their programs.

Risk of loss

Incomplete or missing sustainability data can immediately disqualify your hotel from consideration in RFP processes.

Competitive edge

Accurate sustainability reporting has become a key differentiator in winning hotel contracts and partnerships.

Pain point

Pain points for your hotel chain

Current RFP processes create significant challenges that impact your team's efficiency and win rates.

Overwhelming complexity and volume

RFPs are lengthy, and sustainability sections are growing. Each property must provide up-to-date data in multiple formats for different platforms (Cvent and HRS Green Stay).

Manual data entry

HQ teams spend hours chasing and reformatting data, slowing responses and increasing the risk of errors.

Inconsistent standards

Metrics like HCMI (carbon) and HWMI (water) are now mandatory in leading frameworks (GBTA and HRS Green Stay), but not all hotels report them accurately.

Lost opportunities

Delays or incomplete RFPs mean lost bids, lower conversion rates, and missed revenue opportunities—especially during peak RFP season.
