In a world where environmental awareness is increasingly important, many industries are adopting more sustainable and responsible practices. The hospitality industry is no exception, and more and more hotels are committing to eco-friendly initiatives. This is where the Green Key label comes in — an international certification aimed at encouraging and rewarding establishments that adopt environmentally responsible practices.

What is the Green Key Label?

The Green Key label is a certification awarded to hotels and tourism establishments that meet strict criteria for sustainable and environmentally friendly management. Established in 1994 by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), the Green Key label is now recognized worldwide. Its goal is to promote hotel practices that help preserve natural resources, reduce ecological footprints, and protect biodiversity.

The Criteria to Obtain the Green Key

For a hotel to earn the Green Key label, it must meet specific environmental criteria and demonstrate a long-term commitment to sustainability. These criteria cover various aspects of hotel management:

1. Energy Management: This includes reducing energy consumption, using energy-efficient equipment, and adopting renewable energy sources where possible.
2. Water Management: Hotels must implement actions to save water, such as installing water-saving systems or reducing wasteful practices.
3. Waste Management: A selective waste sorting policy must be in place, with a particular focus on reducing plastic packaging.
4. Local and Sustainable Sourcing: It’s encouraged to purchase local, seasonal products from sustainable agriculture, as well as eco-friendly materials for decoration and equipment.
5. Employee Engagement and Customer Awareness: A Green Key hotel focuses on educating its staff on eco-friendly practices and providing customers with information about its environmental commitment.

The Benefits of the Green Key Label for Guests

The Green Key label offers several benefits for those who choose to stay in a certified establishment:

• A More Environmentally Friendly Stay: You can be sure that the hotel is implementing concrete measures to reduce its environmental impact and contribute to the planet’s preservation.
• High-Quality Service: Green Key hotels are not only eco-friendly but also offer high-quality services with modern, comfortable facilities.
• An Authentic Experience: Many Green Key hotels emphasize local culture, offering regional products or environmentally-focused activities, allowing you to have a unique and responsible experience.
