How do hotels earn their certification?

Green Key Eco-Rating certification is awarded to hotels that have completed and are up to date with Green Key Global’s assessment and audit process. The assessment analyses a property’s efforts to respect and protect the environment and local communities and provides personalized tips on how to improve by upgrading equipment, systems, standards, and operations.

Hotels that have been awarded Eco-Rating Certification must retake the assessment every three years in order for their certification to remain valid. In addition, all members get access to tips, tools, resources, education, and vetted vendors that ensure their hotel stays on a continuous path toward improving their rating.
