In line with our policy of promoting a better and more sustainable ecological performance among our suppliers, we recently organised a series of training workshops in Thailand and Sri Lanka on environmental care within the hotel sector. The main focus here was on energy efficiency, water saving and waste water management.
Workshops of this kind, which are run jointly with local partners and specialists, offer our suppliers an excellent means of acquiring valuable expertise that is clearly geared to practical applications. This pragmatic approach should enable our hotel partners to respond to today’s ever-growing environmental challenges such as climate change and water scarcity. The workshops also provide much of the knowledge a hotel will need to adopt its own environmental management system, and put a further key emphasis on the general benefits of such a system and its cost-saving potential.
