How Can Budget Hotels Adapt to Sustainability at Their Own Scale?

As sustainability becomes increasingly important in the hospitality industry, major players like Hilton are leading the way with ambitious environmental initiatives. According to Business Traveller, Hilton has set significant goals to cut the emissions intensity of its managed hotels by 75% and its franchised hotels by 56%. By 2030, they also aim to reduce water and waste by 50%. These efforts showcase Hilton’s strong commitment to sustainability and its mission to positively impact the environment.

Other notable hotel chains are also making strides. Marriott International focuses on sourcing local food and has set goals to reduce water consumption by 15% by 2025. The Intercontinental Hotels Group (IHG) has committed to eliminating single-use items and using reusable or recyclable alternatives. Hyatt continues to increase its use of renewable energy and grey water, while also working on efficient, lower-impact hotel designs.

While large hotel chains are paving the way, sustainability is also accessible to budget hotels, offering simple and cost-effective ways to join this movement. Aligning with eco-conscious values can attract modern, sustainability-minded guests, ultimately benefiting both the environment and the business.

At Hotel Emporium, we are proud to support these industry efforts with our sustainable amenity solutions, designed to help hotels of all sizes reduce their environmental footprint.
