Green Sustainability
IHG Green Engage is our Group-wide online sustainability management system.IHG Green Engage is our comprehensive online sustainability system. It tells our hotels what they can do to be a 'green' hotel and gives them the means to conserve resources and save money – by measuring, managing and reporting on their hotel energy, water and waste consumption, as well as benchmarking and the ability to create action plans to track progress. We believe this offers a huge advantage to owners for whom energy is the second largest cost in their hotels. It also puts us in a strong position to respond to rising energy prices and any future carbon taxes IHG and our hotels may face.IHG Green Engage proves the value of our commitment to innovation and collaboration. We look for better ways to manage our carbon footprint than merely offsetting emissions and we engage with our partners to create a 'green' culture where owners actively explore solutions that enhance their business.In 2011 IHG Green Engage became aligned to LEED making us the first hotel company to have an existing hotel programme approved for LEED pre-certification. Find out more about our LEED alignment of IHG Green Engage.With over 50% of our entire estate enrolled in IHG Green Engage, in 2013 we turned our attention to making sure hotels use the system to the best of their ability. This will help us achieve a greater positive impact – for our business, our owners and the environment.To that end we set new impact targets around carbon and water over a five–year period. Between 2013 and 2017 we have made a commitment to reduce our carbon footprint per occupied room by 12% across our entire estate and reduce water use per occupied room by 12% in water-stressed areas.Hotels input their site data into IHG Green Engage. The system automatically generates reports and an energy benchmark so that hotels can compare their performance to other hotels. IHG Green Engage then provides 'green solutions', advising both new-build and existing hotels on the specific actions they need to take to reduce their impacts, depending on their climatic location.The advice offered covers every aspect of the hotel lifecycle from picking a suitable site, to selecting the correct lighting for the hotel through to choosing responsible cleaning materials and providing staff training on sustainability. The return on investment, carbon reduction and potential impact on our guests is calculated for each action item suggested.Finally, the system produces reports which allow IHG to review an individual hotel's progress.
