The focus for establishments should first be on reducing waste volumes, questioning, is a new purchase 100% necessary and what can we do to reduce our consumption? Can items be repaired or repurposed? Using reusable items of tableware such as cups and cutlery and seeking alternatives to disposable packaging are some first steps. With PlasTICK’s comprehensive measuring tool and methods for reducing plastic waste, establishments utilising both programmes will see the benefit in both their bottom line and environmental footprint. https://www.greenkeyengland.co.uk/news/celebrating-success-with-marriott-hotels-in-the-uk monthly 0.5 2023-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e393b4fe9de8c5f239ee93f/c61ccb0b-20c7-4f7d-9f8d-9b376e8db8be/Green+Key+%2B+Marriott+award+winners+2023.png NEWS - Celebrating success with Marriott hotels in the UK - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.greenkeyengland.co.uk/news/london-wellness-hotel-achieves-green-key monthly 0.5 2023-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e393b4fe9de8c5f239ee93f/5a93c451-dfb2-47dd-9782-a2aefb24a25e/IMG_0073-Edit.jpg NEWS - Wellness hotel using brands which aid sustainability - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.greenkeyengland.co.uk/news/rising-popularity-of-sustainable-accommodation-highlighted-in-bookingcom-report monthly 0.5 2023-06-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e393b4fe9de8c5f239ee93f/1685527226373-4SBCI59EZDDZJS2RIX6A/Queens+Garden.png NEWS - Rising popularity of sustainable accommodation highlighted in Booking.Com Report - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.greenkeyengland.co.uk/news/u8jg4jcjzbz9f7yevncjz63apo9d6k monthly 0.5 2023-06-06 https://www.greenkeyengland.co.uk/news/green-key-certified-hotels-can-be-listed-in-the-green-travel-index-database monthly 0.5 2023-03-30 https://www.greenkeyengland.co.uk/news/green-key-members-supporting-running-out-of-time monthly 0.5 2022-12-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e393b4fe9de8c5f239ee93f/6df226f5-ae40-4cfe-b0f3-46007e614a51/Netherlants%2Bsupporting%2BROoT.jpg NEWS - Green Key Members Supporting Running Out of Time - Team members of Green Key Netherlands running part of the stage in Running Out of Time and handing over the baton at Green Key certified Van der Valk Hotel Venlo.

The name of this establishment was inspired by the beautiful nature that surrounds the establishment and by outdoor experiences that are available nearby, such as hiking, fishing, and bird watching. Being located so close to nature, Hägern Bed & Nature decided to contribute to biological diversity by designing a flower garden full of pollinator-friendly flowers and herbs by the entrance to their establishment. The flower garden was designed with the help of a gardener student, Stina Gustafsson, and in addition to several birdhouses, wild bee hotels, and bird and bee baths it attracted a lot of bees, butterflies, and other insects into the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e393b4fe9de8c5f239ee93f/1667230319784-ERX5MNOFKQ77CIXO8F5X/hagernnature.jpeg NEWS - Green Key certified Hägern Bed &amp; Nature is taking various initiatives to support biological diversity - To support the flower lifecycle, the establishment leaves parts of their lawn unmown, which apart from other benefits also allows meadow flowers to bloom and spread. By leaving dead wood and branches untouched, they preserve existing natural areas and combat insect loss. Moreover, to fight diseases such as fungi, Hägern Bed & Nature uses beneficial fungi instead of pesticides. The beneficial fungi are biological products based on naturally occurring root fungi in the ground, the fungi then strengthen the plants and keep them healthier. https://www.greenkeyengland.co.uk/news/strand-palace-wins-green-key-award-for-sustainability-efforts monthly 0.5 2022-10-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e393b4fe9de8c5f239ee93f/1666602118048-UJHR2AY1BLC0HWMMVBTG/strandpalacegreenkeyphoto.png NEWS - STRAND PALACE WINS GREEN KEY AWARD FOR SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS - Matthew Beard, Cluster Managing Director at Strand Palace said: “I am delighted that Strand Palace has been awarded a Green Key.

My team and I have been collectively and strategically working towards, and putting resources behind, our mission to reduce our environmental impact and improve guests’ experiences for now and many years to come.
