Green Key is the leading global eco-label, designed to recognize and promote tourism businesses that adopt responsible environmental practices and are committed to sustainability. Present in 65 countries, it is an internationally recognized symbol of quality, enhancing the credibility and reputation of businesses that achieve it.
The Green Key Eco-Label is awarded annually to tourism enterprises that implement innovative and environmentally friendly practices. Businesses meeting Green Key criteria adopt actions such as::
- Environmental Planning: Developing strategies and measures to reduce the environmental footprint and enhance sustainability.
- Customer Awareness and Engagement: Promoting eco-friendly options during guests' stays, empowering visitors to contribute to a greener lifestyle.
- Staff Training: Equipping employees with knowledge on environmental issues, resource-saving practices, and sustainable operations.
- Green Operational Methods: Adopting efficient energy, water, and materials management methods to reduce waste and costs.
- Recycling and Waste Reduction: Implementing recycling systems and minimizing waste across all operations.
Green Key is not just a quality label; it is also a tool for improving the overall performance of tourism businesses. Additionally, it serves as a significant scoring criterion for hotels, influencing their star rating classification under Greek legislation (Government Gazette 10 B/216/2015).
Achieving Green Key not only boosts your business's reputation but also demonstrates a strong commitment to sustainability—something highly valued by modern customers and partners.
