In the 2nd Stage of PUG Rating, accommodation providers are highly environmentally and socio-culturally responsible. They are continuously working to better their operations and enhance their sustainable travel practices. The management is knowledgeable about environmental/social issues related to their business, and they are working to become exemplary industry leaders. |

PUG Rating (Good Practice)
In the 3rd Stage of PUG Rating, accommodation providers are somewhat low-impact, and may consider environmental and social issues in their operational decisions and programming. They also may make choices based on environmental and social responsibility, but due to monetary, time, or efficiency issues, may fore go their commitment to best practice ecological sustainability.
