Introduced in India in 2023, Green Key serves as the foremost standard for excellence in environmentally conscious and sustainable operations in the hospitality sector. The implementation of the Green Key certificate in India is overseen by the Centre for Environment Education (CEE) Ahmedabad, a full member of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). Green Key India, initiated by CEE Ahmedabad, is dedicated to promoting sustainable practices.
Manish Dayya, the General Manager, expressed, “The past year has been exceptionally rewarding for us, with numerous accolades bestowed upon the hotel. The Green Key Certification is not merely an additional achievement; it symbolizes our collective dedication as a team to sustainability. Sofitel Mumbai BKC now stands as the first recipient of this esteemed certification in India, joining an elite group of only two such certifications globally, representing the pinnacle of excellence in their category. At Accor, our parent company, and across all Accor hotel brands, including Sofitel Hotels and Resorts, sustainability is ingrained in our business ethos. Our commitment to sustainable transformation is resolute, and our global mission is to have 100% of all Accor hotels certified in the coming years. We are thrilled to contribute to the realization of the Accor vision through our local efforts and aspire to lead the way in achieving more sustainability-driven milestones in 2024.”
