What is the Green Key label?

Green Key label is an environmental label that sets an international benchmark in the tourist accommodation and catering sector. The label was created to recognize and distinguish establishments actively committed to ecological and sustainable practices.

To obtain the Green Key, establishments must meet strict criteria and demonstrate a genuine commitment to the environment. These criteria cover aspects such as water and energy management, waste reduction, the use of environmentally-friendly products, staff and customer awareness, and the implementation of concrete ecological initiatives.

By obtaining the Green Key, an establishment demonstrates its commitment to responsible practices, thereby helping to preserve the environment and promote sustainable tourism.
