Certification and Verification programs

Green Key is an international ecolabel for tourism facilities. The Green Key award is the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism industry. This ecolabel represents a commitment by businesses that their premises adhere to the strict criteria set by the Foundation for Environmental Education.

A strong and vibrant tourism industry is vital to the ongoing health and vitality of regional communities. It is now critically important that organisations follow a coordinated approach to support a green tourism recovery that aligns with each business’s unique essence and values, as well as assisting in achieving net zero emission goals.

Sustainable or eco-friendly tourism is an area of tourism that has begun to gain momentum when choosing a destination, as environmental awareness and the importance of preserving biodiversity around the world have grown. Control Union created the Green Choice certification in 2013 as a sustainable tourism standard that builds on established policies around the world and adapts to local conditions.
