Candlewood Suites Pittston by IHG

Candlewood Suites Green Program Policy At Candlewood Suites, we are committed to promoting environmental sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. Our Green Program outlines various initiatives and practices aimed at conserving resources, minimizing waste, and protecting the environment. By implementing these measures, we aim to create a more sustainable future for generations to come. 1. Energy Conservation: We are committed to reducing energy consumption throughout our facilities. This includes the use of energy-efficient lighting systems, motion sensors in common areas to control lighting, and programmable thermostats to optimize heating and cooling. Guests are encouraged to participate in our energy conservation efforts by turning off lights, electronics, and air conditioning when not in use and by utilizing natural daylight whenever possible. 2. Water Conservation: Water is a precious resource, and we strive to minimize our water consumption. Low-flow faucets, showerheads, and toilets are installed in guest rooms and common areas to reduce water usage. Guests are encouraged to participate in our water conservation efforts by reporting any leaks or drips promptly and by reusing towels and linens during their stay. 3. Waste Reduction and Recycling: We are committed to reducing waste and promoting recycling throughout our properties. Recycling bins are available in guest rooms and common areas for the disposal of paper, plastic, glass, and metal waste. Our housekeeping staff is trained to separate recyclable materials from general waste, and we work with local recycling facilities to ensure proper disposal and processing of recyclables. 4. Linen and Towel Reuse Program: Guests are encouraged to participate in our Linen and Towel Reuse Program to reduce water and energy consumption associated with laundering. Guests can choose to reuse their towels and linens during their stay by hanging them up for reuse. Linens and towels are changed only upon request or after a predetermined number of days to minimize unnecessary laundering. 5. Eco-Friendly Products and Practices: We strive to use environmentally friendly cleaning products and practices throughout our properties. This includes the use of biodegradable cleaning agents and eco-friendly laundry detergents. We minimize the use of single-use plastics and disposable items wherever possible, opting for reusable or biodegradable alternatives. 6. Sustainable Purchasing: We prioritize the procurement of environmentally sustainable products and materials whenever feasible. This includes sourcing locally produced goods, recycled content products, and items certified by recognized sustainability standards. We partner with suppliers who share our commitment to environmental responsibility and work together to identify opportunities for further improvement. 7. Guest Education and Engagement: We believe that education and awareness are key to fostering a culture of sustainability among our guests and staff. Informational materials outlining our Green Program initiatives and practices are provided to guests upon check-in and are available in guest rooms and common areas. Guests are encouraged to participate in our sustainability efforts by conserving energy and water, recycling waste, and engaging in eco-friendly practices during their stay. 8. Continuous Improvement: We are committed to continuously monitoring and evaluating our Green Program initiatives to identify areas for improvement and innovation. We regularly review our environmental performance metrics, set goals for improvement, and implement strategies to achieve them. Feedback from guests, staff, and stakeholders is welcomed and encouraged, and we actively seek input on ways to enhance our sustainability efforts.
