Hospitality Green on Sustainability

Sustainability not only makes environmental sense, it makes economic sense too. People may initially adopt sustainable practices because of a moral imperative, but they stick with them because of the bottom-line results.

To be successfully implemented, sustainability must be understood by all members of an organization. Because sustainability's efficacy relies on successful capacity building and a long-term commitment, organizations need to develop actionable plans and best practices before attempting a facility-wide program.

Many organizations disregard sustainability because they feel it doesn't have a purpose beyond its moral dimensions. Our sustainability models demonstrate that this claim is not true. We have proven that with the appropriate training and a realistic and customized sustainability plan, an organization can create competitive advantage and save money. As a private company:

• Where do we begin?
• How can working towards a green certification provoke structure and effective collaboration among our employees?
• How can we reduce our environmental impact with no capital?
• How can we implement or take advantage of renewable-energy?
• How can we meet the needs of environmentally conscientious "green" customers?
• Can a third party green certification provide us with the tools for honest and effective "green" marketing?
• What capabilities will we need to succeed in creating organizational sustainability?
• What type of changes must be made to adopt a more contemporary and sustainable model?
• How do we get employees to shift their mindset and adopt to more sustainability focused behaviors?
• How do we pay for and prioritize different initiatives?
• In what areas will we see the largest financial return with the limited resources that we have? Where will we see the largest environmental return?
