GEO Certified™

Growing public awareness of the environmental and social impacts of businesses puts us in the midst of a rapid shift in expectations around corporate responsibility. The great news is that golf is well placed to not only respond, but to lead. As individual golf businesses and as a collective community, golf can engage, act, and communicate around a credible sustainability vision and demonstrate real progress toward it.

GEO Flags

From community clubs to tournament venues, the GEO Certified™ flag flies proudly throughout the world of golf.

Ecolabels have emerged as a mark of trust, certifying the commitment and achievements of a business.  A credible ecolabel, tailored for a particular industry, can have a powerful effect on progress as well as customer choice and loyalty.

Golf's Ecolabel

GEO Certified™ is golf’s ecolabel. The international mark of sustainability that you can promote with absolute confidence, letting members, visitors, and the wider community know that your golf club, renovation, or development has met comprehensive sustainability criteria, specific to golf in your region.

Widely endorsed and supported by a growing number of organizations, GEO Certified™ is trusted for its comprehensive, modern and practical approach; accessible and paper-free online format; and the strongest credibility assurance with transparent sharing of reports and independent on-site verification every three years.
