Our guests and partners want to protect the planet. So do we. Hotel Sustainability Basics is driven by a global collection of hotel groups, associations and destinations, with a vision and commitment, to creating a more sustainable hotel industry. We believe in reducing our environmental footprint, supporting our local communities and promoting inclusion and equality within our teams. A better future, and a better planet for all, is at the heart of what the program aims to achieve.

We understand that sustainability is a key criteria when selecting business partners, and sustainable hospitality can help deliver against your emission reduction targets. Partner with us, and allow Hotel Sustainability Basics to help you meet your sustainability goals. Together we can make a real difference – following clear and tangible criteria – and move towards a more sustainable hospitality industry and more responsible travel.

The Hotel Sustainability Basics criteria includes reducing energy, water use, waste and carbon emissions. We operate a linen reuse program, use green cleaning products and offer vegetarian options on all food menus. Our aim is to move away from plastic straws or single-use plastic water bottles and use only bulk amenity dispensers in our rooms. We support our communities, and promote inclusion and equality, within our teams.

This is our basic commitment, supported with a positive mindset to continually include more sustainable practices.

We believe in making a tangible difference with sustainable practices and goals being at the heart of our business. We’re proud to be on the pathway to net-zero hospitality and will continue to focus on the health, safety, and security of our guests, team members and partners. We work hand in hand with our guests and partners on our sustainability journey.
