Niccolo Chengdu

Hotel news | Awards, 14 July 2026
Chengdu, China – July 14, 2026 Demonstrating continued commitment to environmentally responsible operations and corporate social responsibility, Niccolo Chengdu has once again successfully passed EarthCheck’s rigorous assessment—the global benchmarking body for sustainable tourism—earning its first-ever Platinum Certification after ten consecutive years of participation in the EarthCheck programme. This milestone not only reinforces the Niccolo brand’s leadership in sustainable hospitality but also highlights the unwavering dedication of China’s service industry as an environmental pioneer.

Established in 1987, EarthCheck is the world’s leading scientific benchmarking, certification and advisory group for sustainable travel and tourism. It works in partnership with businesses, communities and governments to co-create sustainable, clean, safe and prosperous destinations. Guided by the principle that ‘what can be good for business is also good for the planet’, its science-based, people-focused certification system is trusted worldwide—empowering consumers to make informed choices while equipping organisations with tools to measure impact, reduce costs and conserve resources.

According to EarthCheck’s certification ladder, Gold Certification is awarded after five consecutive years of compliance; Platinum Certification is granted only after five consecutive years of Gold Certification. Achieving Platinum Certification signifies that Niccolo Chengdu has consistently and robustly fulfilled EarthCheck’s stringent environmental standards across key areas, including greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency, resource conservation and management, socio-cultural management and waste management.

‘This honour belongs to every member of our team. It represents the most meaningful recognition of our daily commitment to sustainable operations. From energy-saving retrofits to waste reduction initiatives, we embed sustainability into every operational decision we make,’ said Mr. Robert Cousins, General Manager of Niccolo Chengdu.

Looking ahead, Niccolo Chengdu aspires to further translate its commitment to responsible tourism into tangible actions by strengthening its collaboration with EarthCheck and working closely with industry peers to explore more comprehensive and impactful environmental solutions addressing climate change and other real-world challenges.
