ÖSA Impact Seal™
The Most Trusted Mark in Guest Amenity Sustainability
What Is the ÖSA Impact Seal™ ?
The ÖSA Impact Seal™ is a material-based sustainability certification that recognizes hospitality properties for reducing waste from direct-use guest amenities through verified product changes and measurable impact.
Every certification is backed by real data, not just promises. It reflects the materials used in daily amenities like slippers, toothbrushes, and in-room packaging. Properties are awarded one of three tiers (Bronze, Silver, or Gold) based on the type of materials they use and the scale of their waste reduction efforts.
Designed to align with both operational goals and guest expectations, the ÖSA Impact Seal™ helps properties lead with clarity, transparency, and substance.
It is more than a badge. It is a statement of progress, a sign that sustainability is not just a marketing message here, but part of the guest experience, verified and visible.
Why It Matters
Sustainability has shifted from a niche idea to a guest expectation, but expectations alone do not build trust. The ÖSA Impact Seal™ provides a clear, material-based path to recognition, built on verified change and measurable results.
It allows hospitality properties to lead with integrity, replacing high-waste amenities with better alternatives and showing guests exactly how they are making a difference. Certified properties are not only reducing waste, they are communicating with clarity, operating with purpose, and earning credibility in the eyes of both guests and industry peers.
With this seal, your property earns more than recognition. It earns trust, distinction, and alignment with a new generation of travelers who value transparency and action.

How It Works
Certification with the ÖSA Impact Seal™ is based on tangible progress and traceable action. Each property is evaluated across four key pillars that prioritize material compliance, waste reduction, guest education, and ongoing accountability.
This structure ensures every certification reflects real change, not just intent.
Guest amenities must meet ÖSA’s material standards—biodegradable, refillable, compostable, or circular by design.
In-room or digital information must clearly educate guests on the sustainability of their amenities.
Full disclosure of amenity materials, sourcing partners, and end-of-life breakdown.
Ongoing eligibility requires either a yearly audit or digital re-certification to ensure continued compliance.
This process ensures that every ÖSA-certified property delivers not only better products but better accountability, education, and leadership.
Pioneering a New Standard in Sustainability
What sets the ÖSA Impact Seal™ apart is not just its criteria but its philosophy. This is a modern approach to sustainability rooted in visibility, accountability, and measurable change. In an era where greenwashing has blurred the meaning of “eco,” ÖSA brings clarity by focusing on what truly matters, the products guests use directly.
Rather than relying on backend metrics or vague pledges, each certification is earned through verified material replacement, traceable sourcing, and quantifiable waste reduction. The ÖSA Impact Seal™ puts sustainability in the spotlight.
It does not sit in the fine print. It turns environmental responsibility into a guest-facing strength, one that is seen, experienced, and trusted. Whether it is a toothbrush on a plane, a slipper in a suite, or a compostable kit on a cruise, the ÖSA standard ensures every touchpoint is backed by impact.
This is not just a badge. It is a new benchmark for what responsible hospitality looks like.
Put your commitment to sustainability where it matters most, on display for every guest to see. The ÖSA Impact Seal™ helps hospitality brands turn real action into visible proof, attracting conscious travelers and elevating the guest experience through certified, design-led impact.
“The idea behind the ÖSA Impact Seal was simple. We wanted to give hospitality a way to prove their sustainability efforts, not just talk about them. Guests should be able to see it, feel it, and know it’s real.”
