Green Key is an international environmental certification for hospitality and tourism facilities and is present in over 50 countries around the world. The certification is driven internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), which is supported by some of the world’s leading organizations in environment and education such as UNEP, UNESCO and the World Tourism Organization.
Today there are over 150 Green Key certified facilities in Sweden and several major chains are connected to the certification. The organization Green Key Sweden drives the environmental certification nationally and all facilities’ Green Key certification is approved and renewed by an independent jury. All facilities are also monitored through regular audits to ensure that the criteria are followed.
