Green Initiatives at Chateau Granville

The Green Key Eco-Rating Program Green Keys is an internationally recognized eco-rating program that aims to honour and exemplify properties committed to improving their environmental and fiscal performance.

The Best Western Premier Chateau Granville Hotel & Suites is honoured to have received the prestigious 4 Green Keys. The 4 Green Keys is given to a property that has shown national industry leadership and commitment to protecting the environment. Successfully producing measurable results, our program focuses on projects in water and energy conservation, waste reduction, recycling, usage of eco-friendly and local products and services as well as environmental management and training programs.

In 2011, Green Key Global and the MPI Foundation Canada co-created the Green Key Meetings Program, which is a comprehensive assessment tool for sustainable event facilities based on the following six key areas: Core Areas (Carbon, Energy, Waste, Water, Air Quality) Communication (Information, Training), Activities (Purchasing, Auditing, Community), People (Health), Exhibitions and audio-visual. Identical to the Green Key lodging program, the venues are awarded a rating from 1 to 5 Keys, 5 Keys being the highest attainable. Our hotel is proud to be certified a 4 Green Key Meetings property. We do our best to provide sustainable meeting operations by minimizing our negative impact on the environment.

The Best Western Premier Chateau Granville is committed to helping protect our planet by reducing our energy consumption, water and waste. Our goal is to leave a smaller carbon footprint. That’s why we have joined EcoStay Certified. 

EcoStay Certified is a third-party program that supports hotels across North America in their effort to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Under the program, Bellstar is tracking each property’s eco-attributes and identifying areas for improvement. We are investing in new conservation technologies and practices that lower our impact. We are also supporting a local reforestation initiative: the EcoStay Motherland project.

EcoStay Motherland is a masterpiece eco-tourism project that provides a unique parkland of carbon sequestration, wildlife habitat, education and cultural heritage. Each night that you stay with us, we will make a contribution on your behalf to the EcoStay Motherland Reforestation Project. In support of the Motherland Project and our other eco-goals, a $2 nightly fee will be added to every guest’s bill.

EcoStay Certified is a fully transparent third party program so you can rest assured that an independent party is monitoring all our collections.

The Best Western Premier Chateau Granville Hotel & Suites has partnered with Clean the World.  Founded in 2009, the Clean the World Foundation is a Florida-based, not-for-profit corporation that collects and recycles soap and bottle amenities discarded by the hospitality industry. The soap and other products are then re-distributed and donated to domestic homeless shelters and impoverished countries, helping to prevent thousands of hygiene-related deaths worldwide.

This initiative not only saves many lives, but also helps preserve the environment. It is estimated that with Clean the World, the hotel will divert over 0.86 tons of landfill waste annually, which is then transformed into about 5250 soap bars. All soap bars are recycled in an environmentally friendly way.
