Novotel Mumbai International Airport achieves Green Key Certification

Novotel Mumbai International Airport has announced its recent achievement of the Green Key Certification from the Centre for Environment Education (CEE). The recognition solidifies Novotel’s commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable operations while providing exceptional guest experiences. 

Green Key is a globally recognized eco-label that certifies businesses in the tourism and hospitality industry for their excellence in environmental management. With over 4,000 certified establishments in 60 countries, Green Key is the top standard for sustainability in the sector.

The hotel has implemented several initiatives to conserve water, reduce energy consumption, and minimise waste. It includes a wastewater treatment plant, rainwater harvesting system, greywater reuse, solar power, energy-efficient lighting, elimination of single-use plastics, eco-friendly laundry detergents, digital room keys, natural light maximisation, the use of compressed natural gas, and a focus on local and seasonal food.
