Welkeys and neighborhood concierge services in the spirit of COP21

Since our journey began in March 2015, Welkeys, the leading collaborative site for finding a concierge in your neighborhood, has been dedicated to revitalizing local community life and promoting "local" work, allowing everyone to earn a little extra income by helping out their neighbors.

What does Welkeys have to do with COP21?

‍

A climate event that encompasses all aspects of sustainable development. And what’s more, it’s happening in Paris, a city close to our hearts and the historic home of Welkeys, which now operates through its 1,000 verified concierges across France. With Welkeys, we wanted to restore the importance of the individual within their local community and shared interests. This is also a priority for a service like Airbnb, which focuses on welcoming guests "like a local" and inviting them to experience a destination as if they were at home, even when they're away!

‍

We are committed to the pillars that drive sustainable development today:

‍Social development, first by creating opportunities for people looking for extra income and allowing homeowners to entrust tasks to trusted individuals nearby. Social bonds are rebuilt through this new activity: Airbnb concierge services, including key handovers, cleaning, and linen management, provided by individuals for individuals!

‍It is also the environmental pillar that Welkeys respects above all else by requiring its concierges to perform tasks close to home to limit their ecological footprint. This is what Welkeys calls Airbnb concierge 2.0.
