Improving Your Green Index Score

The Green Index is Wink’s sustainability scoring system. Properties earn a score by answering questions about their environmental and social practices. A higher score improves your visibility to eco-conscious travelers.

Why it matters

Sustainability is increasingly important to travelers. A visible Green Index score:

  • Differentiates your property from competitors.
  • Shows commitment to responsible tourism.
