Originating in Canada, the Green Key Eco-Rating Program expanded its operations into the United States in September 2009, partnering with LRA Worldwide. Since opening its rating system to U.S. lodging establishments, 35 properties in the United States have joined as members. The Radisson LAX became the 8th property in California to receive a Green Key Rating.

“Our participation with the Green Key program will continue to enhance our status as a green hotel, as we will be using the member tools and property-specific recommendations to continue to improve upon our operations,” Boulton added.
