When choosing a suitable location for a meeting or event, sustainability is playing an increasingly important role. Together, we are striving for a more climate-neutral event sector. ?

What is Green Key?

An international quality label for tourism entrepreneurs such as hotels, restaurants and event venues that operate ecologically. As the largest player in the market, the label highlights sustainable travel, meetings and relaxation. Green Key Flanders is managed by GoodPlanet, an organisation that inspires young and old to achieve a sustainable society. 

Every year, Tourism Flanders and GoodPlanet Belgium award the 'Green Key'. You don't get this label easily, because Green Key assures a consumer that the venue has made sustainable strides without sacrificing comfort and affordability. 

Sustainable locations with a Green Key quality label are careful with water and energy, limit waste and go for sustainable food on the menu. On top of that, they invest in the well-being of their employees and the eco-consciousness of their guests, without sacrificing comfort.
