Green Key Eco-Rating Program
The Hotel Association of Canada’s (HAC) Green Key Eco-Rating Program is a graduated rating system designed to recognize hotels, motels, and resorts that are committed to improving their fiscal and environmental performance.
Based on the results of a comprehensive environmental audit, hoteliers are awarded a 1-5 Green Key rating and given guidance on how to “unlock” opportunities to reduce operating costs and environmental impacts through reduced utility consumption, employee training, and supply chain management.
The audit covers 5-areas within the hotel’s operation:
- Corporate Environmental Management
- Housekeeping
- Food & Beverage Operations
- Conference & Meeting Facilities
- Engineering
The audit relates to the following nine areas of sustainable hotel operations:
- Energy conservation
- Water conservation
- Solid waste management
- Hazardous waste management
- Indoor air quality
- Community outreach
- Building infrastructure
- Land use
- Environmental management
It is important to note that the Green Key Eco-Rating Program is a voluntary, self-administered audit designed to assist a hotel in determining its current environmental footprint. Canad Inns believes in the protection of our environment and is a participant in the (HAC) Green Key Eco-Rating Program.
