Positioning Quebec As A Premier Sustainable Destination
Green Key Global has partnered with the Association Hôtellerie du Québec (AHQ) to help Quebec hotels take the next step in their sustainability journey. Through this partnership, AHQ members receive an exclusive discount on Green Key Global Eco-Rating Certification, the hospitality industry’s most recognized and trusted sustainability certification in North America.

- Boost credibility in corporate travel RFPs and win more business
- Qualify for green financing, sustainability grants, and incentives

What Is the Eco-Rating Program?
The Green Key Global Eco-Rating Program evaluates hotel sustainability performance across five core areas:
- Corporate Environmental Management
- Housekeeping
- Food & Beverage Operations
- Conference & Meeting Facilities
- Engineering
Hotels complete a self-assessment questionnaire followed by a virtual or in-person audit. Based on your results, you’ll receive a 1 to 5 Key rating and a detailed action plan for continued improvement
