The General Assembly of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) was held on 17 June 2021, and Green Key’s activities for 2018-2021 as well as plans for 2021-2023 were presented.

The FEE General Assembly had the participation of more than 100 representatives from the global network of FEE member organisations. The event was the first ever virtual General Assembly for the organisation.

Among the issues for the FEE General Assembly was the presentation of highlights from the last few years and plans for the future of the organisation.

Green Key was one of five programmes of FEE informing about the activities and plans. The activities in the past three years included the recognition and cooperation with various international partners, such as international hotel chains, online booking and travel agencies, the Association of Hotels, Restaurants and Cafés in Europe, etc. The presentation also included information about the management and support to Green Key establishments during the current Covid-19 crisis. The last part of the presentation was dedicated to the future plans of Green Key with the new criteria taking effect from next year, the increased focus on collection of best practise examples and quantitative data as well as the training through courses and webinars.

The FEE General Assembly 2021 also approved new affiliate and associate members as well as the upgrade of members from associate to full member status. FEE now has 101 member organisations in 79 countries. Eight new honorary members were approved and three new persons were elected to the Board of FEE.
