The Green Seal Standard for Hotels and Lodging Properties, GS-33, establishes requirements for hotels and lodging properties. This Standard applies to lodging properties. This Standard does not include swimming pools, golf courses, or restaurants associated with the property. This standard has three levels, bronze, silver and gold, under which a lodging property may apply for certification.

Since it was first published in 1999, the Green Seal Standard for Hotels and Lodging Properties, GS-33, has represented leadership in the industry. The standard focuses on waste minimization, energy conservation and management, management of fresh water resources, waste water management, pollution prevention, and environmentally sensitive purchasing. The standard also serves as a tool to help hotels and lodging properties consider practical steps for reducing the impacts of their operations.
