🌍 Since 2023, Rennes Métropole, Destination Rennes, and the CCI of Ille-et-Vilaine have been aiding Rennes' accommodations in sustainable transition efforts. Now, 27 hotels and lodgings, 23 with the Green Key label, are certified or labeled—28% of the area's tourist establishments. New applications for Green Key support in 2025 are open until April 15, 2025. Initially, 11 sites were committed to sustainability, with 4 European Ecolabels and 7 Green Keys. Seventeen additional establishments joined post-2023, with 13 receiving financial support from Rennes Métropole, totaling 27 labeled accommodations and 4,440 beds among 96 merchant tourist establishments.

📗 Destination Rennes, three years after its initial certification, has had its ISO 20121 certification for responsible event management renewed, highlighting its sustainable development efforts at the Couvent des Jacobins. Achievements include installing 11 water fountains to reduce single-use plastic, avoiding 25,376 plastic bottles in 2023, equivalent to the carbon footprint of 44 Paris-Rennes car trips. Additionally, it achieved 100% local suppliers for coffee breaks and introduced a locally made roasted spelt drink alternative to traditional coffee.
