Green Key certification is awarded to tourist properties that meet certain criteria of environmental management, energy consumption, waste management and customer awareness.
Part of Millennium Hotels and Resorts, The M Social Hotel Paris has introduced initiatives such as:
• Energy-saving measures in the guest rooms and public areas.
• A policy to reduce and sort waste.
• Cooking with local and seasonal produce in its restaurant, Papillons & Co.
• Initiatives to raise awareness of ecological issues among staff and guests.
The certification comes as the French parliament passed a law in 2021 for all tourist establishments to obtain one of various ecolabel accreditations by 2026. It formed part of the government’s plan to reduce emissions by 40 per cent by 2030.
