The Climactra Sustainability Score

A 0–100 score across 9 areas — based on HCMI, EarthCheck and Cornell CHSB. Makes progress visible and helps prioritise.

What is the Climactra Score?

A benchmark for the sustainability of your hotel — based on scientific sources.

Measurements become a score — linearly interpolated between scientific industry thresholds.

9 Areas, 1 Score

The Climactra Score assesses your hotel on a scale from 0 to 100 — broken down into 9 areas such as energy, water, waste, CO₂ intensity and regionality.

Scientifically grounded

The assessment is based on benchmarks from HCMI (Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative), EarthCheck and Cornell CHSB. Your monthly data is automatically compared against these reference values.

Not an official label

The score is internal benchmarking and not an official assessment by a certification body. It gives you direction, makes progress visible and helps prioritize measures.

The 9 areas and their weights

Each area has a scientifically grounded weight. The sum is 100 %.

Quantitative

Measured values per guest night — the score is derived by linear interpolation against industry thresholds.

75%of total weight

Energy

20%

kWh per guest night — the biggest lever for hotels.

CO₂

18%

CO₂ per guest night and per occupied room (HCMI standard).

Water

12%

Litres per guest night — sector-relevant, often underestimated.

Waste

10%

Total kilograms per guest night.

Recycling

7%

Share of separately collected waste fractions of total waste.

Renewables

8%

Share of renewable energy of total consumption.

Qualitative

Implemented measures & policies — the score is derived from the share of fulfilled criteria.

25%of total weight

Regionality

10%

Regional food share — supply distance, local value chain.

Social

7%

Employee satisfaction, local employment, fair compensation.

Management

8%

Climate targets, action plan, audit trail, continuity.

How the score is calculated

Transparent across 4 rules. No black box.

01

Linear interpolation

Thresholds per area: poor → 0, average → 50, good → 75, excellent → 100. Values in between are linearly interpolated and capped at 0 or 100.

02

Quantitative vs. qualitative

Quantitative areas (energy, water, waste, CO₂, recycling, renewables) are interpolated from measured values. Qualitative areas (regional sourcing, social, management) are calculated as fulfilled / total criteria.

03

Missing data excluded

Area without data → excluded, weight removed from the sum. The score is normalised across the available areas. If all areas are empty, there is no score.

04

Weighted average

Score = Σ(Score_i × Weight_i) / Σ(Weight_i) — only for non-excluded areas. Weights are normalised across the remaining ones.
