At Royal Tulip Warsaw Centre, we believe that the future belongs to those who take responsibility today. That’s why we are proud to share that our property has been awarded the prestigious Green Key certification – a globally recognised hallmark of excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism and hospitality industry.
What Is the Green Key Certificate?
The Green Key is an international eco-label awarded to tourism and leisure establishments that meet the highest standards in:
- Sustainable practices
- Efficient resource management
- Waste and energy reduction
- Environmental education and awareness
The programme is operated by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), which has been promoting sustainable development since 1981 in over 75 countries, in collaboration with organisations such as UNESCO, UNEP, and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council.
Why Green Key Matters to Us
For Royal Tulip Warsaw Centre, achieving the Green Key certification represents:
- A tangible demonstration of our environmental responsibility through daily practices
- A valuable educational tool for both our team and our guests
- A cornerstone in building our image as a modern and conscious aparthotel
- A motivator for continuous improvement and enhanced service quality
Green Key inspires us to further embed social responsibility into the very foundation of our brand.
