Action > Words in Sustainability 🙌🏻 Last night I started at Hotel Verde on a work trip to Cape Town - they have won the title of ‘Africa’s Greenest Hotel’ with a 100% offset carbon neutral stay. In each room is this 👇🏼 practical list of sustainable actions guests can take to avoid waste and lower collective emissions. The bonus is the incentive for taking these actions, which equally feeds into a loyalty programme - clever 👏🏻 It’s great to see simple but effective information and incentives on sustainable behaviours! #Sustainability #CarbonEmissions #ESG #GreenBuilding
