Environmental certifications
Pandox is working with an independent party to achieve recognised environmental certification for the properties and for how they are operated. Certification is a good tool for improving environmental performance by implementing measures in buildings as well as in management processes and operations. It also helps to increase internal knowledge of and commitment to environmental work.
The diagram shows the breakdown of Pandox’s environmental certifications and
environmental management systems. Some hotels have multiple certifications.
Certification of properties
Pandox certifies its properties to BREEAM, which is an established standard in Europe for green properties. The certification process involves assessment and a scoring system in the following areas: Energy, Transport, Water, Materials, Pollution, Health and Wellbeing, Land Use & Ecology, Management.
Certification of hotel operations
Green Key certification is one of the leading standards for environmental responsibility and sustainable operations in the tourism industry, including for hotels. Certification ensures that environmental measures are implemented and lead to reduced energy and water consumption, renewable energy use, waste sorting at source and recycling, and the purchase of eco-labelled cleaning products and organic food.
