One more step forward to alignment .. thanks to the EEA launching a sustainability Taskforce and global consultation on standards across the hotel and lodging space. The Taskforce will focus standards set by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), which collectively set the global benchmarks for financial and sustainability disclosures. Ufi Ibrahim CEO of the Energy & Environment Alliance said: “In a growing number of jurisdictions, sustainable practices are required by law. However, harmonised standards, precise metrics and reliable benchmarks have yet to be formally implemented on a global basis.” See more about the process of the consultation and the Taskforce below.👇👇 #standards #IFRS #CSRD #ISSB #hospitaltiy #hotels #sustainability

📢 ✨✨✨EXCLUSIVE:✨✨✨📢 HRS's State of Sustainability in Corporate Travel report lands today and we have the exclusive interview with Fabio Fornari product manager for Sustainability HRS Group to talk about the results from the Green Stay Initiative database. Key findings include: 🔎 Contrary to the common sense that sustainability comes with a premium, the Green Stay database shows that, on average, the 25 per cent most efficient hotels within Green Stay have offered ADRs 17 per cent cheaper than the 25 per cent most polluting hotels. 🔎 Scope 3 emissions are responsible for up to 80 per cent of a corporate carbon footprint, with hotels accounting for 30 per cent of the emissions of an average business trip. 🔎 An increase in sustainable hotel bookings with 35 per cent more room nights in Green Stay hotels in 2024 vs 2023. In fact, 53 per cent of all room nights are in Green Stay hotels in 2024. 🔎 36 per cent of buyers say they do not know what methodology their company is using to calculate and report carbon emissions. 🔎 GSI hotels succeeded at winning 22 per cent more RFP’s than non Green Stay Initiative hotels for 2024 programmes and this year they are projected to see a further 17 per cent increase in room nights booked. 🔎 “We are monitoring [Travalyst’s] efforts to see if it makes sense to also validate hotel certifications against their list. This is why HRS joined the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and will start engaging more in this type of discussion moving forward,” said Fornari.

Travelling to Stockholm? Check out our hotel review of the Radisson Hotel Group Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel Stockholm. This hotel has so many sustainable features including, making use of the waterfront location, the hotel and congress centre are cooled by water pumped up from Lake Klara. Down in the basement are 250-tonne ice tanks where the water is stored. This technique is then used to control and regulate the temperatures across the two buildings. The technology has been well tested and the building has been using it for years so the hotel is able to transfer the energy between the people who need it.
