Single-Use Plastic (SUP)

This audit addresses Single Use Plastics (SUP) potentially used in products and packaging in hotels and in the supply chain of hotels.

Score: 78 / 100 %

Reducing single-use plastics is essential for hotels due to its considerable environmental impact. Plastics contribute to pollution, harm wildlife and threaten human health. Reducing plastic use also helps conserve non-renewable resources and combat climate change. Beyond environmental stewardship, reducing plastics aligns with many hotels' sustainability commitments, aids in complying with emerging regulations, and can result in significant cost savings by investing in reusable items. Furthermore, an increasing number of environmentally conscious travelers prefer staying at that share their values, potentially attracting more patrons.  To qualify for verification, the hotel must achieve an overall score of 80%.

Our back-up generators are now flood-proof

We are a hotel that takes disaster preparedness seriously. We've upgraded our back-up generator with flood protection to ensure we can continue to provide power in the event of a flood. We've also created a comprehensive disaster plan and trained our staff to be ready to respond in case of an emergency. Our guests feel reassured knowing that we're prepared for any situation. It's important for us to prioritize the safety and comfort of our guests.

We commit to energy-saving

We've implemented several energy-saving initiatives such as LED lighting, motion sensors, and energy-efficient appliances. We've also trained our staff to be more conscious of energy usage, and encourage guests to participate in our sustainability efforts. Our efforts have paid off, and we've saved thousands of dollars on energy costs. It's not just good for the environment, but it's also good for our bottom line.

We donated to our local community

We are a hotel that believes in giving back to our community. We've donated to local schools, charities, and events, and have even organized volunteer days for our staff to get involved. We source our produce from local farmers and use local businesses for our supplies. It's important for us to support the community that supports us. We've built strong relationships with our neighbors, and our guests appreciate our commitment to making a positive impact. It's a win-win situation, and we're proud to be a part of it.
