ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena Hotel Reaccredited with Prestigious Green Key Sustainability Award
Fri 11 Apr, 2025
The ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena hotel, located at the Merrion Centre, is proud to announce that it has been successfully reaccredited with the internationally recognised Green Key Award – the leading standard of excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism industry.
Run globally by the Foundation for Environmental Education, and administered in England by the environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy, the Green Key award represents a commitment to sustainability and continuous environmental improvement. It provides a well-established framework for environmental management, with criteria focused on reducing ecological impact and raising awareness among guests and staff alike.
Establishments achieving Green Key certification are subject to stringent documentation and regular on-site audits to ensure high standards are consistently maintained. The programme supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (2015–2030) and is open to hotels, hostels, campsites, restaurants, attractions, and more.
Kim Wantoch, General Manager of ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted to have been reaccredited with the Green Key award. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do – from reducing waste and conserving energy to engaging our staff and guests in more eco-conscious behaviour. This recognition highlights our ongoing efforts to minimise our environmental impact and promote responsible travel.”
For guests, the Green Key symbol offers peace of mind that their stay supports an organisation actively working to reduce its environmental footprint, without compromising on comfort or service.
The ibis Styles Leeds City Centre Arena continues to be a beacon for responsible tourism in Leeds, offering stylish, centrally located accommodation with a strong commitment to sustainability.
