Cvent Partners with Green Key Global
August 25, 2010
Cvent has announced a partnership with Green Key Global to help the more than 65,000 monthly meeting planner users of the company's Cvent Supplier Network plan "green" meetings and events. Using the new Environmentally Friendly filter on the Cvent Supplier Network, meeting planners can easily research, identify and do business with Green Key-certified hotels and hotel meeting facilities in the United States and Canada.
"We are always looking for ways to enhance the Cvent Supplier Network as the ‘go-to' online resource for meeting planners, and although we considered developing our own criteria for sustainable hotels and hotel meeting facilities, Green Key was a natural choice to help us provide this feature," said Kate Slonaker, Cvent Marketing Manager. "Green Key is already well-established and highly respected, and comes with impeccable environmental credentials and a large network of members in Canada and the U.S."
Hoteliers are awarded a Green Key rating of one through five based on a comprehensive environmental audit, and provided with a performance report that includes recommendations for improvements. Unlike other programs of this nature, Green Key is focused entirely on hotel operations and includes random, on-site verification of audit results, mitigating the risk of score inflation.
Green Key ratings will be featured on the first page of venue profiles in the Cvent Supplier Network.
