Marriott has achieved Green Key certification
Marriott has been making remarkable strides in promoting sustainability across its range of properties. It has been acknowledged for its endeavors, with the Green Key certification being granted to eight of its hotels in Dubai.
Green Key is an internationally recognized sustainability accreditation for tourism businesses in over 60 countries, setting the benchmark for environmental stewardship and sustainable practices within the tourism sector. To qualify for this certification, hotels undergo evaluation based on various criteria, including staff engagement, food and beverage practices, water management, waste disposal, energy efficiency, and more. Holding this certification signifies to guests that the hotel is dedicated to lessening the environmental impact of their stay.
The eight Marriott hotels in Dubai that have achieved Green Key certification are W Dubai – Mina Seyahi, The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina, Le Meridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Waterpark, Le Meridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, Aloft Dubai Airport, Aloft Al Mina, Element Dubai Airport, and Element Al Mina. Sebastien Weyer, the cluster director of engineering at Marriott International, expressed, "Green Key is a standard of excellence across the hospitality and tourism industry, and we are delighted to receive the certification at eight of our Marriott properties in Dubai. It underlines our promise to our guests that by staying with us, they are helping to make a difference on an environmental level. We have put in place several initiatives over the past few years at each hotel and resort with sustainability being a huge priority for us. Receiving the Green Key is testament to the efforts of each hotel team and our guests to reduce the environmental impact of each stay and our operation"
These hotels have introduced several sustainable practices, including the establishment of on-site water bottling plants, hydroponic farming, phasing out single-use plastics, using sustainable hair and body care products in guest rooms, offering zero waste menus, installing electric vehicle chargers, implementing linen reuse programs, utilizing green-certified cleaning products, conducting awareness and educational programs, and adopting automated systems for electricity, water, and thermostat management to conserve energy by minimizing unnecessary usage.
