Doha, Qatar: Alwadi Hotel Doha has achieved the honorary Green Key Award for its relentless efforts and commitment to sustainability and green hospitality.

The Green Key certificate is a leading example of excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism industry. It encourages hotels to adopt environmentally responsible practices. The certification process evaluates the hotel’s environmental management, energy conservation, waste management, water conservation, and other sustainable practices.

Alwadi Hotel Doha General Manager Ramsey Saarany said sustainability and environmental performance are key pillars for Accor.

“We are delighted to receive the Green Key Qatar certification for the second time in a row, and our commitment is embedded in everything we do at Alwadi Hotel MGallery while supporting Qatar’s sustainability goals, a key part of the Qatar National Vision 2030. We also uphold the values of Msheireb Downtown Doha, the world’s first sustainable downtown regeneration project.

“Obtaining Green Key demonstrates the establishment’s efforts to develop an environmentally friendly, sustainable, and responsible business. We are delighted to continue the cooperation with Green Key through this global agreement and look forward to continuing to deliver sustainable luxury.”

Handing over the Green Key Certificate, the Exclusive National Operator of Green Key in Qatar, Arab Youth Climate Movement Qatar stated: “A major part of their effort will be encouraging hotels and establishments in Qatar to take part in the Green Key scheme, a global initiative by Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) for environmental responsibility and sustainability. By choosing to stay with a Green Key award, Alwadi Hotel is helping make a difference for the environment and sustainability in Qatar.”

Green Key is the world’s leading eco-label for hotels and other tourism facilities, with around 3,000 awarded establishments in almost 60 countries around the world.
