CESO Earns HSCD Accreditation

CESO is proud to announce our accreditation in the Healthy and Sustainable Credential for Design (HSCD), which reflects our commitment to designing hospitality environments that promote guest well-being, environmental responsibility, and long-term operational value.

This milestone reinforces our dedication to creating spaces that are not only visually compelling but also healthier and more sustainable. The HSCD framework aligns with our long-championed principles of human-centric design, responsible materiality, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.

“This accreditation validates the direction we’ve been moving as a hospitality design team,” said Bernie Lappe, Hospitality Market Leader at CESO. “Our clients are increasingly focused on sustainability, wellness, and guest experience—and we’re proud to offer design solutions that deliver on all three.”

From select-service hotels to boutique resorts, we view sustainability not as a trend, but as a foundational element of exceptional design. This recognition affirms our position as a forward-thinking partner in creating spaces that serve both people and the planet.
