ABOUT GREEN KEY
Green Key is an international environmental certification scheme and recognized environmental management system for accommodation and tourist businesses and is found in over 50 countries around the world. The scheme is run internationally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) and is recognized by the world’s leading organizations in the field of environment and education, such as UNEP, UNESCO and the World Tourism Organization. Green Key is the only environmental certification in Norway recognized by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).
Green Key is a relatively new scheme in Norway and is growing rapidly. More and more hotels, camping businesses and smaller accommodations are starting the process towards certification.
The FEE Norway foundation owns and operates the scheme in Norway. Certified businesses must apply for annually renewed certification. Applicants are assessed by an independent jury, and are regularly checked through mandatory audits, in order to ensure quality that all the criteria are met.
