Clean the World is excited to announce our support of the world’s premier Green Lodging Survey. Read all about it in this guest post from Glenn Hasek, publisher and editor of Green Lodging News.
Set to launch in June (watch for it!), the Green Lodging Survey is being produced by Green Lodging News in partnership with Greenview and also has the support of Green Key Global. Green Lodging News is the lodging industry’s leading environmental news source, consisting of a website and weekly e-mail newsletter and Green Supplier Spotlight e-blast. Greenview has helped launch several innovative industry initiatives including the Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative, the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking study, the Hotel Footprinting Tool, the Green Venue Report, and the UNWTO’s sustainable cruise development strategies for South-East Asia.
In June and months following hoteliers and innkeepers will be asked to complete the online survey that will consist of about 75 questions covering topics ranging from indoor air quality to energy management to procurement. The intent of the survey is not only to cover the best practices you are familiar with but to also uncover innovative new green products, technologies, and steps seen nowhere else that hoteliers are taking to reduce their impact while increasing profitability. The survey will be produced in the coming weeks. A trends report will be produced in the fall. It will provide analysis of the survey findings and highlight exemplary practices and innovations that stand out. For survey participants, a compare report will be prepared, confidential to each participant, to serve as a yardstick for a hotel to understand the status of each specific practice within the general participant universe. If you have a question or questions you believe should appear in the survey, contact me at (813) 510-3868, or by e-mail at editor@greenlodgingnews.com.
The survey, intended to be repeated annually, will only be a success if you participate and encourage as many other people to participate as well. Watch for additional updates in this newsletter and in Green Lodging News.
