We look forward to bringing together industry leaders from across and beyond our membership for this two day event, continuing our collective action towards a more sustainable and inclusive future.
In this session, discover the importance of climate-proofing the hotel industry and the strong business case for green and resilient hotels, and gain an overview of some of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance’s free tools and resources to help kickstart your climate journey.
Learn about EDGE, an innovation of IFC, a member of the World Bank Group. EDGE is a green building standard and a certification system that empowers building professionals to quickly and easily determine the most cost-effective ways to build green based on building type and the local climate. See how the built-in financial calculator makes connections between technical measures and profitability, within a live demo of the EDGE platform (free to use through the generosity of our donors),
Explore the topic of risk and how hotels can respond to climate risks and build their resilience, using the Destination Water Risk Index (DWRI) and the Building Resilience Index. DWRI maps areas of high water stress against areas of high hotel growth, enabling companies and investors to explore, assess, financially value and respond to water risks, in current and planned operation.
This practical session explores sustainability challenges and solutions within food procurement, consumption and waste management.
Providing useful tools and expert insights from the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, World Wildlife Fund, Marine Stewardship Council, and World Resources Institute, the webinar has been created with hotel sustainability representatives, hospitality practitioners, and hotel general managers in mind.
