Green Key eco-label 2010 in Portugal
The Green Key is a worldwide available eco-label awarded to leisure organizations, as hotels, youth hostels, conference- and holiday centers, campsites, holiday houses and leisure facilities. To obtain The Green Key the company has to fulfill a list of environmental requirements. These requirements are contained in a number of criteria. Besides environmental demands (by example to control the production of waste and the use of water, electricity, etc.), the criteria include demands on policy, action plans, education and communication. Obtaining The Green Key shows the sense of responsibility a organization has for its surroundings and society. In Portugal the Green Key eco-label is awarded by the European Blue Flag association (ABAE – Associação Bandeira Azul da Europa).
