Position Your Hotel for Success with Sustainability Certification

Green Key Global is North America’s leading sustainability certification program.  It is co-owned by the Hotel Association of Canada (HAC) and the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA). With over 30 years of experience, Green Key Global brings unparalleled expertise in evaluating operational processes and practices to meet the unique needs of hoteliers and providing them with trusted sustainability solutions. 

More than ever, sustainability is a critical component for attracting tourism: Expedia Group’s 2022 Sustainable Travel Study found that 90% of travellers are seeking more sustainable travel options, and the October 2024 American Express Global Business Travel Report forecasts that sustainability will significantly influence corporate travel choices.  

Green Key Global certification validates the claims being made by hotels, which increases guest confidence. Moreover, it ensures that a property is recognized for its sustainability commitment on all major Online Travel Agencies, allowing the property to expand its reach and increase its bookings. 

Join thousands of properties across North America that have chosen Green Key Global certification to highlight their commitment to sustainability and be well-prepared to meet the rising demands of travellers in 2025.
