“Climate change is one of our biggest business challenges. Working to balance business growth with the
expectations of a responsible business presents a range of considerations and pressures we need to take into account:
customers, governments and regulators demand increasingly high environmental standards, in particular greenhouse gas emissions regulation of greenhouse gas emissions and other resources is rising, including new carbon schemes, for example the Carbon Reduction Commitment in the UK, and stricter building codes to encourage sustainable construction and consideration of whole life costs increasing water and energy prices and carbon taxes are driving up operational costs the environmental impact of the supply chain is coming under closer scrutiny changing sea levels and climate patterns are affecting the availability of raw materials for construction, how and where hotels are built, and how guests travel guests are under increasing pressure to reduce air travel.
In 2013 we put additional weight behind our commitment to reducing our contribution to climate change by setting a target
to reduce our carbon footprint per occupied room by 12% from 2013 to 2017. This marks a shift from tracking energy to tracking carbon by focusing on the quality of use of IHG Green Engage in our hotels.”
