To obtain The Green Key a hotel has to fulfill a long list of
environmental requirements, which in themselves contain a number of
criteria. Apart from purely environmental demands, the criteria also
includes requirements on policy and action plans.
The Hotel in Vilnius became involved in The Green Key project to
ensure it was keeping an eye on costs to ensure the best prices and
maintain a competitive position in the hotel market as well as to
address concerns regarding the health, well-being and safety of its
clients and employees and a concern for the surrounding environment.
The hotel in Vilnius city center became involved in the project in a
number of ways. These included saving water by washing laundry less
often and installing water saving devices. It also aimed to save heat
and electricity by using low energy light bulbs, installing equipment
with a standby function and installing programmable thermostats.
Rubbish is now pre-sorted so that a large amount of it can be recycled
and the hotel started using eco-friendly materials and products such
as non-chlorine bleaches and phosphate-free detergents.
Finally, the hotel made other changes such as sourcing local food,
providing on-going training for staff about the environmental
activities of the company, informing the public and guests about the
environmental activities of the company and improving the air quality
in the hotels.
All these changes will benefits the Radisson Blu hotels in Vilnius
guests as they will now receive local food, fresher air, a cleaner
environment, and they can get involved in the process by doing things
such as pre-sorting their own rubbish or using towels for an extra day
so they require less washing.
Radisson Blu Hotel Lietuva is also taking part in the Rezidor
Responsible Business program. This covers three main fields; taking
responsibility for the health and safety of employees and customers,
respecting social and ethical issues in the company, as well as in the
community and reducing negative impact on the environment.
The hotel also took part in the Lithuanian Environmental cleaning
Action DARMON 2011, and Earth Hour 2011, where it dimmed the lights in
the lobby and sky bar for an hour and switched off the lights in the
Riverside restaurant which the guests ate a candle lit dinner.
