Guest recycling bins: Bins for recycling paper, plastics, and cans are provided in common areas or guest-accessible spaces to promote waste diversion.
Trained Green Ambassador: Each property appoints a designated team member to oversee the green program, ensure staff compliance, and implement improvements.
Elimination of Styrofoam: All Styrofoam cups and containers have been removed from the breakfast area and back-of-house to reduce landfill waste.
