Best Western takes sustainability and environmental responsibility seriously. Best Western hotels with a green leaf icon have been accredited with an Eco-Friendly STAR. The standards for Eco-Friendly STAR Accreditation were developed in a partnership between AAA Tourism and Green Globe under the guidance of the Australian Government established Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre.

- Energy efficient lighting (bedrooms)
- Water saving showerheads
- Towels – no change option
- Linen – no change option
- No leaking taps
- Reduced flush or twin flush cisterns fitted
- No leaking toilet cisterns
