Combining d2o’s PMI GoGreen environmental management tool and BeCause’s sustainability data management platform offers hotels the only CSRD compliance solution rooted in efficiency and profitability.

NICE, FRANCE – BeCause, the Danish start-up transforming how the global hospitality, travel, and tourism industries manage their sustainability data, has partnered with d2o, a leading forecasting and resourcement management technology provider for the hospitality industry, to create a comprehensive Corporate Social Responsibility Directive (CSRD) solution for hotels. The collaboration unites the BeCause Sustainability Hub with d2o’s PMI GoGreen suite of prediction, targeting, tracking, and allocation tools to create an auditable CSRD reporting solution that goes beyond compliance to boost efficiency and profits. The partnership was announced yesterday at the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance Spring Summit in Nice, France.

By joining forces, BeCause and d2o have taken a giant leap toward building a viable, valuable ecosystem between the hotel industry and technology providers that leverages the power and potential of daily sustainability data management. CSRD compliance is just the starting point; BeCause and d2o are demonstrating that with the right technology, sustainability initiatives can drive operational efficiency and profitability for hotels around the world.

“As an inventor and entrepreneur, it is a dream come true to have a product that fully meets the needs of our customers’ stakeholders, including owners, guests, staff, authorities, and local communities,” says d2o CEO Young Nguyen. “The partnership between d2o and BeCause will enhance the hotel industry’s ability to transform a costly compliance challenge into a business opportunity. We call this partnership PMI GoGreen BeCause… because the hotel industry and the planet require a comprehensive solution to address a complex issue.”

As a result of this partnership, the PMI GoGreen tools will be seamlessly integrated into the BeCause platform. This integration, facilitated by an API, allows for the sharing and mapping of data, making it reusable for CSRD reporting. This not only simplifies the compliance process for hotels but also ensures accuracy and auditability at the activity level, meeting financial-grade CSRD reporting standards.

However, the joint solution goes beyond compliance and reporting. By centralizing data within the BeCause platform and applying the integrated PMI GoGreen tools, hotel chains gain visibility into which individual properties are meeting their targets for reducing CO2 emissions, energy consumption, water usage chemicals, waste, towels & linens, and food waste. The combined solution also utilizes machine
