SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES
Our goal is to help shape the future of responsible travel together with those who stay, work, and partner with us. IHG Malta recognizes that businesses can have a negative impact on the environment. The key to delivering our strategic priority to care for our people, communities, and planet is our “Journey to Tomorrow” plan! At InterContinental Malta, we are considering how our company can safeguard the environment, including many corporate policies addressing climate change.
Following our “Journey to Tomorrow” commitment and the Green Key accreditation, IHG has taken several steps to ensure sustainable operations, such as providing filtered glass-bottled water aimed at reducing plastic waste by an estimated 300,000. IHG has also implemented a linen and towel change system, and a bulk dispensary system for soap, shampoo, and shower gel, giving guests the opportunity to reuse resources.
In March 2024, InterContinental Malta was certified with the Green Key ecolabel. Coordinated by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), Green Key is a global voluntary eco-certification program. With more than 4,000 certified hotels and other establishments in 60 countries, Green Key is the leading standard for excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism and hospitality industry. The certification process evaluates the establishment’s environmental management, energy conservation, waste management, water conservation, and other sustainable practices.

Environment
During the last 20 years we planted 1300 trees and plants of various sizes and types, which offset 62,400 pounds of CO2 annually. Additionally, the hotel has plans to continue this initiative, further contributing to the environment.
