What do we do?

Promote

The Green Key exists first and foremost to raise awareness of environmental and sustainability issues within the tourism industry and aims to create behavioural changes amongst guests, staff and suppliers world-wide.

Add value

Positive environmental credentials are becoming more and more important to travellers when they are trying to decide on a place to stay. The Green Key symbolises a commitment to the environment which is extremely attractive to potential guests.

Educate

We put huge focus on informing visitors about the measures being taken by an establishment towards being more environmentally friendly, ensuring such information is readily available to the guests and that the staff operating there are trained in the most environmentally conscious practices.

Innovate

The Green Key is constantly searching for new and sustainable methods of operation and technology in a bid to reduce the overall use of energy, water and waste.
