Many of Scotland’s visitors come here because of our beautiful landscapes and the richness of our natural environment. Our tourism and hospitality industries trade on the quality of Scotland’s environment, and so have a special responsibility to ensure that their operations protect and care for the natural world.
Green Key is a leading tourism eco-label, operating in 65 countries worldwide and recognised by the UN World Tourism Organisation. Launched recently in Scotland by Keep Scotland Beautiful, Green Key is designed to help your business improve its environmental performance and demonstrate your credentials to customers with an internationally recognised quality mark.
Joining Green Key also gives you access to technical support with your environmental improvements, and can help you reduce costs by cutting waste and saving energy.
We believe the success of the Scottish tourism industry rests on protecting and enhancing the Scottish environment. This is a vital part of our offer and hugely important to both our communities as well as our visitors.
That’s why, as we support the industry with COVID-19 recovery plans, we know there is an appetite for change from both our businesses as well as our customers. This is a huge opportunity to reset tourism and focus on a more responsible future.
Green Key is open to a wide range of businesses, including hotels, campsites, conference centres, restaurants, and visitor attractions.
As the tourism and hospitality sectors embark on a green recovery, partner with Keep Scotland Beautiful and Green Key for a more sustainable future.
