Let's Reduce Single-Use Manual and Toolkit
IHG Hotels
At IHG we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and seeking out more sustainable solutions. A core part of this commitment is helping our colleagues to better understand the options that enable them to make more environmentally-friendly choices. The “Let’s Reduce Single-Use Toolkit” has been a useful way to help our procurement team to expand their knowledge, and in-turn support our hotel brands to make buying choices that have a more positive impact on both our operations and the environment.
Laura Simmonds, Head of Responsible Procurement, IHG.
Sharing this Toolkit in whole or in part is strictly prohibited.
If your hotel/accommodation is part of a wider group or chain, please contact info@travelwithoutplastic.com to enquire about reduced rates.
