RECIPIENT OF THE GREEN KEY STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE

We are proud to have obtained the green key environmental/sustainability mark, with which we are co-creating the green story of sustainable tourism.

Green key is the leading standard of excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation in the tourism industry. This prestigious sustainability mark signifies our company’s commitment to comply with the strict criteria set by the International Foundation for Environmental Education FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education) in the plant.

The Green Key sustainable sign allows all guests to directly contribute to the protection of the environment by choosing our certified tourist establishment.

Factories -bearers of this sign maintain high environmental standards, which we prove with the help of strict documentation and frequent inspections. The Green Key program places great emphasis on informing and involving visitors in sustainable and more environmentally friendly measures that we implement in our facilities. It ensures that plant staff are well informed and properly trained in environmentally friendly and sustainable practices, raising awareness and changing attitudes towards the environment.

The goal of the Green Key is to increase the use of environmentally friendly and sustainable ways of doing business and consequently reduce the sharing of resources, raise awarenessand change the behavior patterns of all stakeholders in our plant.

By obtaining the Green Key sign, HOTEL PIRAN also fulfilled the conditions for obtaining the Slovenia Green Accommodation sign and thereby obtained a ticket for inclusion in the Green Scheme of Slovenian tourism.
