WISE Sustainability provides independent Evidence-based Verification.*

This means we have not assumed results from generalities but derived a conclusion from empirical means at your property.

Our analysis generates secondary data that provides insights to drive continuous progress and competitive advantages.

*Evidence-based verification refers to the fact that the data we gather and assess, when given to another scientist, would lead them to form the same conclusions. Verification compares historic data.

World-first LIVE and independently VERIFIED* sustainability progress widget.

With increasing pressure from legislative guidelines on transparent sustainable reporting and growing frustration from consumers with greenwashing, the service industry requires an innovative solution beyond certification.

The WISE Sustainability widget is a world first to showcase a site’s live and independently verified sustainable progress to all. 

This provides an accommodation with a unique industry-leading competitive advantage to demonstrate to all stakeholders their real continuous efforts and achievements made.

*Data sets over long time periods (seasonal and annual) are cross checked to provide evidence-based verification that provides a reasonable level of assurance. Other data sets (day and week) are monitored results, verified at the limited level of assurance; in these cases, in our opinion, we have not found evidence to indicate that on these occasions the information has not been fairly stated.

Benefits of Evidence-based Verification

  • Provide consistency of reporting from non-financial areas of the business
  • Offer assurances to investors, financial institutions, and partners
  • Make sound decisions and identify risks
  • Identify new areas to improve practices
  • Improve competitive advantage
  • Have peace of mind to demonstrate progress without fear of Greenwashing

Real-time, not "moment-in-time"

What makes WISE Sustainability’s verification advantageous is that we process data on a high granularity level, compute nexus of consumption, pollution, wastage, cost, and other variables in real-time.

We can even verify results of individual projects. Enabling you to take immediate course correction if required, identify important efficiency/conserving operational improvements, and develop new service opportunities.

This is not the case with single annual or monthly ‘moment-in-time’ checks where the richness of data is lost in bland total sums leaving new opportunities to improve performance remaining invisible.

As hospitality experts WISE Sustainability independently verifies the following:

  • Costs and resource/waste/laundry savings
  • Carbon emissions
  • Climate Action adaption measures
  • Social indicators for guests and staff
  • Contribution to nature and cultural conservation/regeneration
  • Results from performance optimisation experiments
  • ROI on equipment replacement

Our Methodology

  • WISE Sustainability applies a scientific approach to measure outcomes.
  • We record consumption in real-time and compare with baseline and other historic time periods.
  • We comply with IOS 14065:2020, have a verification team conduct analysis that is cross checked and then approved by experts remote from the initial planning to ensure independence.
  • We apply scientific rigour combining primary data from multiple variables, with statistical analysis to determine the results.
  • Our data methodology is unique to WISE Sustainability, devised through PhD rigour at Griffith University, that has been blind peer assessed by scholars and engineers, with details published in leading A+ academic journals.
