Adagio focuses on sustainable aparthotels with «Green Key» certification

In 2026, Adagio takes its «Green Key» certification process, which was introduced in 2025, to the next level. With 20 new aparthotels certified in 2026, a total of 78 Adagio properties now carry the Green Key label. This corresponds to 60 percent of the entire Adagio portfolio. This momentum is part of a long-term strategy: Adagio is aiming to have 100 percent of its locations certified with the «Green Key» label.

European dynamics across all locations

The «Green Key» ceremony, at which the certified establishments in France were officially recognized, took place last week in Strasbourg. In 2026, a further 18 Adagio aparthotels in France received the «Green Key» label. Internationally, the 27 certified locations are spread across ten countries, including Germany, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

Of the total of 78 certified Adagio aparthotels, 58 are operated directly by Adagio, 14 are franchises and six are master franchise locations. This result reflects the growing commitment of the entire network to common environmental standards.

Measurable results in seven areas

«Green Key» is the first international label for sustainable tourism in the accommodation sector and is based on an ambitious, cross-divisional approach based on seven major areas: Environmental Policy, Customer Awareness, Energy, Water and Waste Management, Responsible Purchasing and Living Environment.

At Adagio, these certification guidelines are reflected in concrete and measurable measures that are implemented on site: The reduction in energy consumption is 4 percent per occupied apartment. Water savings reach up to 5 percent per resident at the French locations. More than 20 tons of organic waste are recycled through local partnerships. More sustainable household appliances and increased maintenance through repairs support the circular economy. Measures to promote urban biodiversity and local anchoring round off the concept.

On the way to a sustainable standard

The «Green Key» label is one of the cornerstones of Adagio's CSR strategy, which revolves around the commitment «Agir pour la transition des villes» (Act to transform cities). There are already 28 new applications for certification for 2027. Beyond certification, the brand reaffirms its intention to make this label an operational standard that is already integrated into the planning phase of new openings.

«The increasing number of »Green Key' certified sites reflects the concrete commitment of our teams and the continuity of our CSR strategy. This label is both a demanding framework and an excellent lever for mobilization. It allows us to offer a more responsible hospitality in a structured, measurable and collective way, for the benefit of cities and their inhabitants," says Virginie Barboux, Senior Vice President Client & Marketing Adagio.

Directly on site, this approach and the recognition of the work done are seen as factors that are extremely meaningful and make the teams proud. «The »Green Key' approach has enabled us to structure our measures, better involve our employees and make our commitment to our guests more visible. It's a challenging job that unites us strongly and gives meaning to our daily lives," explains Yoann Angot, General Manager Adagio Access Le Havre Les Docks.

Adagio is the European market leader for aparthotels. Founded in France in 2007 as a joint venture between Accor and Pierre & Vacances Center Parcs, Adagio now has 130 locations with around 14,700 apartments in 70 cities in 16 countries.
