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