Recently, the Green Key England team partnered with Hotel 360 in London. This partnership enabled showcasing Green Key as well as networking among others in the industry to inspire more hotels to join the programme.

The Green Key England team were delighted to be invited back by Hotel 360 this year to partner with them once more at the event and to reconnect the industry in person. The event took place on 28-29 September at the home of world-leading events, ExCel London. The Hotel 360 Expo provided a 360 view of the hospitality industry, encompassing five topical areas: business growth (finance and marketing), technology, operations, sustainability, and design.

Green Key national operators from England, Louise Carr-Merino and Lynsey Atherton attended with international partner Philippe Gonin from Drinkable Air in France alongside, and it was great to connect and share best practices among delegates and exhibitors alike.

“It was great to be back at a live event and meet hoteliers and individuals from various sides of the hospitality industry in person after so long communicating only through a screen. The vibes were positive, and many businesses are ready to embrace more sustainable practices. We can’t wait to start work with the new hotels we connected with at the event and grow the number of Green Key awarded hotels in England as part of a wider national and global action to “build back better” following the global pandemic.” - Louise Carr-Merino, Green Key England National Operator, Keep Britain Tidy
