Studies show that an increasing number of tourists are aware and concerned about sustainability and the footprint they leave. For example, a survey from Opinion in November 2020 shows 8 out of 10 Norwegians want to live more sustainably. Here, both Green Key and Invite can contribute in their own way.

Green Key, which is an internationally recognized environmental certification for tourism companies, and Invite Guest Technology AS, which has developed software for rental businesses, are now establishing a partnership. The background for the partnership is clear synergies for joint customers that both parties want to help.
Through Green Key, certified companies assure their guests that they have mapped and initiated measures to operate as sustainably as possible. One of the requirements in the certification is to see how the company can reduce energy consumption. Invite offers a solution for automatic temperature management. With the solution, tourism companies don’t have to think about whether the heating is on or off, as this is handled by Invite. Based on the booking information, the solution ensures that a guest has a comfortable temperature when they arrive at the rental unit, while temperature is reduced to a level determined by the rental company when the booking period is over. Invite thus solves one of the requirements for energy efficiency in the Green Key certification scheme. This makes it easier to reach the finish line and be able to adorn yourself with the internationally recognized Green Key logo.
Managing director of Stiftelsen FEE Norway, which runs Green Key in Norway, Marit Kjellesvik, says: We are pleased to establish a partnership with Invite. We work daily to advise companies that are certified, or in the process of certification, to minimize their environmental footprint. In the area of energy, we see that the product Invite can offer rental businesses will be effective and useful. Automated and concrete measures to reduce electricity consumption are a win-win for accommodation companies, and we believe that a number of customers, both large and small, can achieve this with the help of Invite’s products and solutions.

Head of Sales & Partnerships in Invite, Terje Skog Jenssen, adds: As Invite has a strong focus on sustainability and sustainable solutions, it was only natural for us to establish a partnership with the leading environmental certification for the tourism industry. We see that Green Key leads to lasting change in several areas at certified companies, and it is motivating to help contribute to increased sustainability in society.
Both companies encourage all accommodation businesses that want a more sustainable operation to get in touch. Green Key guides through the certification process, while Invite helps with energy optimization.
