Green Key provides a carbon calculation tool for hotels and other accommodations, developed in partnership with the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and the World Travel & Tourism Council. This tool, part of the Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative, allows users to calculate their carbon footprint and compare it with regional averages. By gathering specific data on energy consumption and other factors, accommodations can better understand and manage their environmental impact. This initiative supports the hospitality industry's move towards more sustainable practices.
