Activeion wins Ireland’s Green Hospitality Award for Innovation

Ireland’s Green Hospitality, the Irish national hospitality environmental certification programme, has named Activeion as its number one choice for Innovation in the area of environmental products and services.  Green Hospitality is the only national hospitality environmental certification programme in Ireland, and is sponsored by the Irish Environmental Protection Agency.  Green Hospitality is also recognised by all the leading hospitality organisations and associations including Failte Ireland, Tourism Ireland, Irish Hotels Federation, Irish Hospitality Institute, ILAM, Restaurants Association of Ireland, Dublin Convention Bureau, Northern Ireland Hotels Federation, Shannon Development and many others.

Activeion’s win recognises the extraordinary success of the company’s chemical-free Activeion ionator EXP™cleaning tool, launched in Europe early in 2010 and now used in hotels, restaurants, care homes and retail outlets throughout Europe.  Already the winner of a number of awards, the ionator EXP™ saves time, cleaning materials costs, mixing time, storage costs, waste and recycling costs, simply by making it unnecessary to buy and use cleaning chemicals.  And the results are fantastic.

The Green Hospitality Award was announced at Green Hospitality’s 4th National Hospitality Environment Conference and Exhibition, held on Tuesday November 16th at Ireland’s new Convention Centre in Dublin, the world’s first convention centre built to be carbon neutral. The theme of the conference “Leveraging the Green in Irish Tourism”, not only reflects the importance of environmentalism in Ireland, but also the hospitality sector’s commitment to green principles, responsible purchasing and marketing the green message.  Delegates from top Irish tourism and hospitality companies attended the Conference to learn, discuss and collaborate towards major environmental footprint reduction.

Maurice Bergin, Green Hospitality’s director adds, “We are pleased to present this award to Activeion, as its corporate mission and commitment to protecting health and safety and fostering a more sustainable world reflects the level of commitment to environmentalism which we ourselves are working to preserve, promote and further develop in the Irish hospitality sector.”

“We are thrilled to have been elected as the winner of Green Hospitality’s award. We greatly appreciate Ireland’s devotion to environmentalism” said André G. Krell, Activieon Europe’s General Manager. “The hospitality sector, a key target for our ionator EXP, is particularly active in strongly promoting sustainability and responsible business behaviour. Our win makes it clear that we are heading in the right direction” he continued.
