Green Key Eco-Rating

The nature of the hospitality and tourism industry means that it can generate a significant amount of waste and consume a great deal of natural resources in the service of our guests. Green Key Eco-Rating is a voluntary program that can help your property to reduce it's impact on the environment.

The Green Key Eco-Rating Program is administered entirely on-line. Once a property has registered for the program, they have instant access to the member section of the Green Key website which includes the online audit.

The audit consists of 5 sections: 

1. Corporate Environmental Management,
2. Housekeeping,
3. Food & Beverage Operations,
4. Conference & Meeting Facilities, and
5. Engineering

Each section is comprised of a number of multiple choice questions related to the following nine areas of sustainable hotel operations:  

• Energy conservation
• Water conservation
• Solid waste management
• Hazardous waste management
• Indoor air quality
• Community outreach
• Building infrastructure
• Land use
• Environmental management
