In a significant milestone for its sustainability efforts, ibis India has been awarded the globally recognized Green Key Certification for 22 hotels across the country. This prestigious eco-label is widely regarded as a benchmark for environmental responsibility and sustainable practices in the hospitality industry.

The certification spans several key cities, including: ibis Gurgaon Golf Course Road, ibis Pune Viman Nagar, ibis Bengaluru Hosur Road, ibis Navi Mumbai, ibis Jaipur City Centre, ibis New Delhi Aerocity, ibis Bengaluru City Centre, ibis Hyderabad Hitec City, ibis Styles Goa Calangute, ibis Kochi City Centre, ibis Kolkata Rajarhat, ibis Coimbatore City Centre, ibis Pune Hinjewadi, ibis Bengaluru Hebbal, ibis Mumbai Vikhroli, ibis Thane, ibis Styles Goa Vagator, ibis Mumbai BKC, ibis Mumbai Airport, ibis Nashik, ibis Chennai City Centre, and ibis Chennai Sipcot.
Notably, ibis Kochi City Centre becomes the first hotel in Kerala to receive the Green Key Certification, marking a proud achievement in ibis India’s ongoing sustainability journey.
Commitment to Sustainable Operations
The Green Key Certification reflects each hotel’s adherence to strict environmental standards. These include responsible waste management, water conservation, energy efficiency, and reduction of single-use plastics. Many ibis hotels have introduced on-site water bottling facilities, installed energy-saving fixtures, and implemented water recycling systems to reuse treated water from sewage treatment plants for landscaping and flushing. These initiatives help reduce resource consumption and minimize carbon emissions.
Leadership Perspective on Sustainability
“Receiving Green Key Certification at multiple ibis locations across India is a proud accomplishment for our teams,” said Tejus Jose, Director of Operations, ibis & ibis Styles India. “Sustainability is an ongoing journey, not a one-time goal. At ibis, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint while making a positive social impact through community engagement and awareness. Our vision is to have every ibis hotel in India certified in the near future.”
Engaging Teams and Guests for a Sustainable Future
ibis India also promotes sustainability through staff and guest engagement. Hotels provide in-room information, training sessions, and signage to encourage eco-conscious practices. These efforts not only support environmental protection but also enhance operational efficiency and improve the overall guest experience.
