Starwood Hotels now meeting sustainable
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide introduced “sustainable meeting guidelines” at every North American property in its portfolio.
Starwood’s Sustainable Meeting Practices will roll out globally in 2011. The program revolves around five core components: paperless meeting planning, sustainable meeting services, sustainable food and beverage practices, impact assessment tools and socially conscious activities.
“Rolling this program out across North America formalizes environmental practices our hotels have been implementing and we are excited to encourage," said Sandy Swider, Starwood’s vice president for Global Citizenship.
The program’s five core components include 18 different sustainable practices, including sustainable menu choices and digital signage.
Starwood has also launched the Meeting Impact Report, an internal online tool that generates a report for clients that demonstrates the impact of their meetings on the environment.
