Certificate Green Key

Green Key is a voluntary ecolabel for hotels, hostels, campsites, holiday parks, small accommodations as well as conference centres, attractions and restaurants. The Green Key award is based on compliance with strict criteria in the areas of sustainability management (water, energy, waste, cleaning, etc.) and sustainability education (staff, guests, suppliers, etc.). Compliance with the criteria is confirmed through a rigorous application process, regular on-site audits and third-party verification. The award is valid for one year at a time. Currently, more than 3,000 establishments in 60 countries are Green Key awarded. The programme is managed by the international charity, the Foundation for Environmental Education and its national member organisations. Green Key is endorsed by the World Tourism Organization and recognised by Global Sustainable Tourism Council.
