IHG Hotels & Resorts: A Call to Action for Sustainable Growth in Hospitality, David Muil

IHG Hotels & Resorts is championing sustainable growth in the hospitality industry. Recognizing the urgent need for environmental responsibility, IHG has launched several initiatives aimed at reducing the industry's carbon footprint and promoting eco-friendly practices.

Key among these initiatives is IHG's commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The company is focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and sustainable construction practices. For example, they have implemented the Green Engage system, a comprehensive platform that helps hotels manage their environmental impact by tracking energy usage, water consumption, and waste management. This system not only helps in reducing costs but also aligns with the growing consumer demand for sustainable travel options.

In addition to operational changes, IHG is fostering partnerships with organizations like WWF to protect natural habitats and support biodiversity. The company's dedication extends to its supply chain, ensuring that suppliers adhere to sustainable practices and ethical standards.

IHG's call to action serves as a powerful example for the hospitality sector, emphasizing that sustainable growth is not only beneficial for the environment but also crucial for long-term business success. For more details, you can read the full article on Travel and Tour World.

Central to our efforts is “Journey to Tomorrow”—IHG’s 2030 responsible business plan, which aligns with our purpose of True Hospitality for Good and the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals. This plan includes commitments to foster a diverse and thriving culture, improve the lives of 30 million people, and protect our planet by reducing carbon emissions, waste, and water usage.
