The deadline for entering the environmentally and socially responsible Considerate Hoteliers Association (CHA) prestigious annual ‘Considerate Hotel of the Year Awards 2009/10’ has been extended to 31 March 2010 to give UK hoteliers and guest-house operators an extra 12 days to put the finishing touches to their entries.
Celebrating the best in environmental and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) performance; and open to all hotels and guest-houses in the UK, the 2009/10 CHA Awards include the newly introduced category of – ‘The Considerate Green Marketing Initiative of the Year’, sponsored by Beacon Purchasing.
The new award is one of five categories in the Considerate Hotel of the Year Awards 2009/10. The other four awards are:
- The Considerate Sustainable Food Award, reintroduced by popular demand and supported by Sustain and Fairtrade
- The Considerate Green Team of the Year
- The Considerate Green Champion of the Year
- The Considerate Hotel of the Year, sponsored by Gilchrist & Soames Ltd and presented to the hotel or guest-house that is considered by the judges to be the best all-rounder in 2009 through succeeding in a wide range of environmental initiatives: from energy and water conservation, waste reduction and support for sustainable food, to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Commenting on the 2009/10 awards, CHA Director and Association Secretary John Firrell said: “We hope that by giving busy hoteliers and guest-house owners extra time to complete their entries, we can exceed the overwhelming success of the 2008/9 CHA annual awards which attracted a record number of high quality entries. In all of this year’s five award categories, we are looking to see what responsible and considerate UK hoteliers and guest-house owners have achieved during 2009. So this is a great opportunity for accommodation operators to stand up and be counted by entering the 2009/10 awards – to gain well earned recognition for the excellent environmental and socially responsible work undertaken during the year.”
The 2009/10 annual awards of the environmentally and socially responsible Considerate Hoteliers Association will be presented in May 2010, at a special gala lunch in a top London CHA member hotel – full details to be released shortly.
Further information on the ‘Considerate Hotel of the Year Awards 2009/10’, including entry forms and timing details, can be found on the CHA website: www.consideratehoteliers.com.
A condition of entry will be the provision of each establishment’s Environmental/ Corporate Social Responsibility policy.
