Carlson Hotels selected the Green Key Eco-Rating program as its preferred green lodging certification program.
Green Key, which ranks, certifies and inspects hotels based on their commitment to sustainable operations and practices, will be a part of the latest installment of Carlson Hotel's Responsible Business initiative to be rolled out in the third quarter of 2010.
The initiative includes Carlson Hotels’ Radisson, Country Inn & Suites By CarlsonSM, Park Inn and Park Plaza brands in the Americas. The company's managed hotels will join the program immediately. The Radisson brand is planning to have full membership by the end of 2010, with Country Inn & Suites to follow in 2011.
