1,300 hotels using Green Engage, IHG reports
03 November 2011
InterContinental Hotels Group has reported that 1,300 hotels globally are now using its online environmental tool Green Engage.
Green Engage informs IHG hotels what they can do to be a 'green' hotel and gives them the means to conserve resources and save money – by measuring, managing and reporting on their hotel energy, water and waste consumption, as well as benchmarking and the ability to create action plans to track progress.
“More than 1,300 hotels globally are now using Green Engage and we’ve seen a 21% increase in signups over the last few months as word gets around about the potential savings achieved with the tool, and we expect that momentum to build as more and more hotels come online with Green Engage,” said David Jerome, Senior Vice President of Corporate Responsibility.
IHG also reported that Green Engage has enabled it to significantly improve its scoring in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), the leading annual carbon disclosure report for global businesses and evaluation tool for investors that aims to drive decision making. With a carbon disclosure score of 76, IHG has also achieved for the first time the joint highest rating for Performance (B) for a hotel company.
