Green Key accolade for TIME Hotels

Emirates Business

UAE-headquartered hospitality company, TIME Hotels Management, has added another environmental accolade to its achievements with the announcement of its first Green Key status for all hotels and hotel apartments across the hospitality groups’ portfolio.
A leading international standard of excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism industry, the Green Key award is a voluntary eco-label that represents a commitment by businesses that their tourism establishments adhere to the strict criteria as stipulated by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE).
It aims to contribute to the prevention of climate change by awarding and advocating facilities with positive environmental initiatives and, to qualify, the hotel passed an exhaustive audit.
“TIME Hotels has been committed to pursuing an active strategy of initiatives, events and programmes designed to engender a pro-susta- inability culture across all our properties and in the communities in which we operate. This Green Key award is further endorsement of this commitment, and provides further motivation for us to maintain our corporate policy of putting the environment at the top of our agenda for positive change,” said Mohamed Awadalla, CEO, TIME Hotels. TIME Oak Hotel and Suites, TIME Grand Plaza Hotel, TIME Ruby Hotel Apartments, TIME Opal Hotel Apartments, TIME Topaz Hotel Apartments and TIME Crystal Hotel Apartments were all successful in the latest round of Green Key assessments.
The audit covered 12 key areas from water conservation, waste management systems and indoor environment to green activities, staff involvement and guest awareness.
