The ECOTEL Certification is based on five areas of environmentalism, each of which is designated by a Globe award.  These five areas are referred to as the cornerstones of environmental responsibility, or simply as Globes.

Environmental Commitment

Solid Waste Management

Energy Efficiency

Water Conservation & Preservation

Employee Environment Education & Community Involvement

Hotels can apply for 1 to 5 Globe awards, although all hotels certified or recertified after 1999 must achieve at least two globe awards to be certified.
