Green Key Global has awarded the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto the 5 Green Key Eco-Rating for its sustainability efforts.
Four Seasons Hotel Toronto has been recognized with a 5 Green Key Eco-Rating from Green Key Global, acknowledging its sustainability and social responsibility initiatives. The hotel has implemented various measures to reduce energy consumption and waste, contributing to its high rating.
The hotel launched its Smart Buildings Program in 2013, resulting in significant energy savings. The program has conserved over 28 million kWh of electricity and more than 3 million cubic meters of natural gas. These efforts have prevented the emission of over 7,000 tons of CO₂, equivalent to removing approximately 4,000 passenger vehicles from the road and saving over 30,000 barrels of oil.
In addition to energy conservation, the hotel operates a comprehensive recycling and waste diversion program. This initiative has saved thousands of trees, conserved millions of gallons of water, and reduced landfill impact.
The hotel offers amenities aligned with its sustainability goals, including electric vehicle charging stations and an electric house car. In-room features are designed to minimize waste, with bulk-size toiletries replacing single-use items. The hotel also offers VIVREAU Pure Spring Water in reusable glass bottles.
Dining options at the hotel include plant-forward menus and responsibly sourced seafood. The hotel also uses Winnow AI technology to reduce food waste and offers sustainable meeting options with wellness-focused menus.
Beyond environmental efforts, Four Seasons Hotel Toronto engages in social impact activities. The hotel supports charities such as Second Harvest, The Common Table, The Scott Mission, The Good Shepherd Ministries, and WWF-Canada. It participates in annual toy drives and festive meal donations, and its staff volunteers for various causes.
Green Key Global is an international environmental certification body that evaluates hotels based on their green operations and sustainable practices. The 5 Green Key Eco-Rating is one of the highest recognitions for sustainable hospitality.
