Braga Youth Centre Renews Green Key Certification for the Fifth Consecutive Year
The Braga Youth Centre, the first tourism facility in Braga to receive the Green Key distinction, has renewed its certification for the fifth consecutive year, reaffirming its commitment to environmental sustainability and the responsible management of resources.
The Braga Youth Centre has once again been awarded the Green Key, one of the world's leading international eco-labels for sustainable tourism, granted by the Blue Flag Association for Environmental Education (ABAE) to tourism establishments that demonstrate high standards of environmental management and sustainability.
The awards ceremony took place in Sintra and was organised by the Green Key Programme, bringing together organisations recognised for their commitment to sustainability and the implementation of environmental best practices.
As the first tourism facility in the municipality of Braga to obtain this certification, the Braga Youth Centre has now renewed the distinction for the fifth consecutive year, recognising its ongoing efforts in the efficient use of water and energy, waste management, and the promotion of environmentally responsible behaviour among its guests and visitors.
The Green Key certification reflects a consistent strategy of integrating sustainability into the Centre's daily operations, helping to reduce the environmental impact of its activities while fostering a culture of environmental responsibility among guests, visitors and the wider community.
In the 2026 edition of the Green Key programme, Braga has further strengthened its position as a destination committed to sustainability. Alongside the Braga Youth Centre, the Braga Municipal Campsite and Caravan Park, Holiday Inn Braga, INNSiDE by Meliá Braga Centro, Meliá Braga Hotel & Spa, and Moon & Sun Braga were also awarded the certification, bringing the total number of Green Key-certified establishments in Braga to six.
Managed by InvestBraga, the Braga Youth Centre continues to establish itself as a national benchmark in promoting more sustainable tourism, combining quality, innovation and environmental responsibility in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Municipality of Braga's climate transition strategy.
