Hotels: Rezidor Goes Even Greener

Almost Triples Number of Eco-Labelled Hotels until End Of 2008

The Rezidor Hotel Group considerably increases the number of eco-labelled hotels and strengthens its proactive, long term orientated commitment to the environment. By the end of this year 50 more hotels will be certified by acknowledged third party labels: Seven more Radisson SAS hotels in the UK will gain certification from the Green Tourism Business Scheme, seven more properties in Ireland will secure the Green Hospitality Award, 29 more hotels in Scandinavia will obtain the Nordic Swan Eco-label, and seven more properties in France, Tunisia and Benelux will achieve the Green Key. “These markets with well established independent labels are in our focus”, comments Catherine Rubbens, Director Responsible Business of Rezidor. “We see strong demands from the markets itself and from our hotels for eco-certifications, and do believe that these labels are a more and more important part within our overall Responsible Business Programme.”
