The Green Key administration evaluates the incoming material and authorizes the on-site audit. The on-site audit can be performed by a third-party auditor that also takes the decision regarding the award or the on-site audit can be done by a second-party auditor and then there is a National Jury to take the decision regarding the award. The award is based on proven compliance with all imperative criteria and an increasing number of guideline criteria over the years. The award is valid for one year and must be renewed annually. On-site audits are as minimum conducted in year 1, 2 and then every three years, and in alternate years, off-site audits (document verification) are done. Wikicphe (talk) 12:56, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

 * The requested claims are not referenced by reliable, independent, WP:SECONDARY sources. Those sources need to be placed within the article through the use of ref tags, which are missing here in the request. The requested prose is also devoid of Wikilinks which help to integrate the article into Wikipedia.
 * To that end, please provide the appropriate references, ref tags, and Wikilinks for the suggested prose. To help in the search for references, I have placed some search suggestions at the top of the edit request post. Simply click on one of the search engines shown there to effect a search of the subject. Once this is complete, please feel free to open a new edit request at your earliest convenience.

 * In an earlier review, it was suggested that ref tags, Wikilinks and secondary sources be applied to the proposed text. With this revised second request, it appears that none of those suggestions have been applied. For those reasons the proposed text is not approved.
 * Additionally, it appears that the proposed text — which includes many WP:WTW's, such as "leading international eco label awarded" and "Green Key is one of the largest eco-lables for the hospitality industry" — is intended to promote the organization. For this other reason the request is also declined.
