With certification, we can tell a more powerful story, not just about saving resources, but about how those efforts translate into business value.

Green Key certification isn’t just a label or a badge, it’s the infrastructure that helped us mobilize our team, streamline our strategy, and get real ROI on our efforts.

Yes, you do it because it’s the right thing to do. It gives you a story that separates you from everybody else out there. It brings you back business because people choose your hotel based upon your Green Key certification. It’s an amazing return on investment. What more could you ask for.

Green Key Global helps us save energy, reduce our waste, lower our carbon footprint.

Our goal is to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030, and to achieve full carbon neutrality by 2050. Through our partnership with Green Key Global, we are confident in our path forward.

When [travellers] hear about all the initiatives we’re doing, it really sets us apart from the competition and has moved business our way.

Green Key certification is a credible recognition that brings legitimacy to our actions, valued by our individual guests.

Working with Green Key demonstrates our hotel’s commitment to sustainability. This positively impacts our hotel’s reputation and attracts customers from a growing segment of consumers and businesses seeking sustainable options. The program offers various tools for cost reduction, while minimizing our carbon footprint and improving employee and guest adoption to the program. In 2025, we look forward to expanding our partnership with Green Key through curating more on-property efficiencies and increasing our marketing efforts.

Green Key Global’s certification process gave us clarity. Composting wasn’t on our radar until the audit helped us see the opportunity, and now, it’s part of our identity.

Having the Green key certification gives reassurance to clients hosting meetings and events at the hotel. It’s a well-known designation in the hospitality industry. More groups are looking to do better, reduce their own carbon footprint and make decisions based on what a hotel is offering as their green initiatives.

I particularly liked the Green Key Global tools to change things over and make improvements. They had new ideas and approaches to add to ours, and getting that report back was like, here we have some things to work on; what can we change that will be the most impactful.

RFP processes for contracts to lock-in long-term guest room rates for big government and corporate clients, for example, are not only evaluating facilities and services, but sustainable practices. It’s probably a slew of 100 questions you have to answer. Big companies, almost 90% of them, have a sustainability component to their RFPs. For government and companies, if you can’t show what you are doing to be sustainable, they won’t give you their business.
