Hotel Byakko awarded Green Key label

Hotel Byakko has been rewarded for its commitment to the environment by receiving the Clef Verte label. This distinction illustrates the Summer Hotels group's commitment to an ecological approach across its various establishments, thanks to concrete initiatives that have been implemented for some time now.

We are delighted to have our commitment recognized by this label, and hope that the actions we have taken will resonate with our customers, encouraging them to preserve the environment while continuing to explore and enjoy the wonderful spaces nature has to offer.

What is the Green Key label?

Green Key label is an environmental label that sets an international benchmark in the tourist accommodation and catering sector. The label was created to recognize and distinguish establishments actively committed to ecological and sustainable practices.

 

To obtain the Green Key, establishments must meet strict criteria and demonstrate a genuine commitment to the environment. These criteria cover aspects such as water and energy management, waste reduction, the use of environmentally-friendly products, staff and customer awareness, and the implementation of concrete ecological initiatives.

By obtaining the Green Key, an establishment demonstrates its commitment to responsible practices, thereby helping to preserve the environment and promote sustainable tourism.
