Green Key
 |
Green Key is a voluntary eco-certification programme and the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism industry. The high sustainability standards expected of Green Key certified establishments are maintained through a strict set of criteria, rigorous documentation, frequent on-site audits, and third-party verification. Green Key is eligible for hotels, hostels, small accommodations, campsites, holiday parks, conference centres, restaurants, and attractions. The Green Key programme is managed by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and its national member organisations. The programme has been recognised by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) and UN Environment (UNEP), and the Green Key criteria are internationally recognised. |
