Currently 14 hotels from the Small Danish Hotels group have been awarded with Green Key, and more hotels are joining the programme.
Hotel Vejlefjord
In December 2021, two Small Danish Hotels hotels - Fuglsangcentret and Hotel Vejlefjord - received the Green Key at the latest hotels in the Chain joining the programme.
Fuglsangcentret receives the Green Key
Fuglsangcentret is located in the city of Fredericia, and owned by the Danish Society for the Blind. The establishment is designed for the blind to navigate the building using sounds such as, running water and canaries.
The establishment has earned the Green Key after an application process with great commitment. It is important for Fuglsangcentret to take care of their surroundings and take the environment into account.
The hotel has established solar cells on the roof, completely phased out all weed control and increased the amount of organic food to over 30%. In connection with the renovation of rooms, all light bulbs were changed to LED.

Green Key to Hotel Vejlefjord
The iconic Hotel Vejlefjord is located outside the city of Vejle. When the establishment was built in 1901, fresh air and exercise were important elements in the treatment of tuberculosis patients, and therefore the large park was laid out in a romantic landscape style with bridges, streams and lakes in the strongly hilly landscape right down to Vejle Fjord. The green areas now benefit the hotel's guests.
The staff at the hotel has been at the forefront with help and ideas when the hotel applied for the Green Key. The National Jury deciding on the award found that the hotel's current efforts and plans for future activities have made it eligible for this certification.
Sustainability and Green Key Workshops in 2022
At the beginning of 2022, Small Danish Hotels and Green Key have arranged a number of workshops for hotels in the chain. The intention is to support the hotels moving forward with the sustainable work so that more hotels of the chain can join Green Key.
At the upcoming workshops, the hotels' knowledge about sustainability and Green Key will be strengthened. At the same time, the aim is to build cooperation and network between the hotels so that they continue to inspire each other and work together on sustainability after achieving Green Key.
The themes include: Workshop 1 - Save money on energy, water, and environmental management. Workshop 2 - Sustainable procurement and waste management. Workshop 3 - The good meal and preventing food waste. Workshop 4 - Sustainability and collaborate with the local area
