Novotel Leicester continues to hold a Green Key certification going into 2026. We achieved Green Key certification from Green Key England for our continued efforts towards protecting the environment!

Green Key is an international eco-label for tourism facilities. Since 1994, it has been a
leading standard of excellence in environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within
the tourism industry. The programme is run internationally by the Foundation for
Environmental Education. In England, it is managed by the environmental charity, Keep Britain Tidy.
Green Key provides a well-proven framework for an establishment to work with its
environmental management on sustainability issues, including awareness raising. The high
environmental standards expected of our establishment, are maintained through rigorous
documentation and frequent on-site audits.
The award is eligible for hotels, hostels, small accommodations, campsites, holiday parks,
conference centres, restaurants, and attractions.

Green Key programme is linked to Sustainable
Development Goals 2015-2030 addressed by the United Nations.

Novotel Leicester Raises the Bar for Food Safety—Now Safe to Trade Approved

Novotel Leicester has joined a new wave of hospitality businesses setting the standard for consumer safety, becoming officially Safe to Trade Approved—the next evolution in food safety for UK diners.

Quote from James Conaghan, General Manager, of Novotel Leicester:

“ Safe To Trade goes beyond the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme by looking at the things that matter most to our customers: allergen safety, clear menus, clean spaces, and real-time accountability. We’re proud to be Safe to Trade Approved because it shows we’re serious about protecting the people who walk through our doors. It’s not about ticking boxes—it’s about earning trust, every day.”
