Our Green Key Commitment

Green… what?
Green Key!

The Green Key label is the international eco-label for sustainable tourism and leisure activities. Think of it as a quality mark showing that you travel, meet, or relax in a sustainable way! Green Key is active in no fewer than 65 countries, from Belgium to South Africa, with over 3,200 certified locations. Each of these places is fully committed to a greener world, without compromising on comfort or affordability.

You can find this label in all kinds of places: from B&Bs, holiday homes, and campsites to hotels, holiday parks, restaurants, and – yes! – hostels. Ten of our hostels are now proud to hold the Green Key label, and we aim to make all our hostels just as sustainable.

The 10 commandments of our sustainable policy

Policy_1

Do more with less

We collect rainwater and switch to energy-efficient lighting.

 

Policy_2

Make better choices,
one trip at a time

We cannot save the planet alone; we need everyone around us.

Choices_1

Water-saving sanitary facilities

Don’t waste water

Relaxing is fantastic while traveling, but not in the shower! Did you know that a regular shower uses 10 liters of water per minute? With our water-saving showerheads, this is reduced to 6 liters per minute. And by washing your hair a bit faster, you can save even more.

Choices_2

Travel far, travel wide,
but travel with care and respect.

The ultimate goal

2030: a Green Key for all our hostels

At Hi Flanders, we are fully committed to sustainability! Our goal? By 2030, all our hostels should have the Green Key label. But it doesn’t stop there: we also want everyone to think sustainability as soon as they discover Hi Flanders.

How will we achieve this? We focus on clear communication with our guests and invest in our teams: more training on sustainability and plenty of opportunities for staff to actively contribute to our green policy. Together, we make Hi Flanders a truly sustainable choice!

Let’s make sure the journey respects the planet we all share.

 

Dear Hi Flanders guest,
Will you join us on a journey toward a more sustainable world? Every little action counts, and it really does! We hope to see you soon in one of our hostels. Great! And you’ll come by train, right? ;-)
