Hotelscene has been officially certified with the Carbon Trust Standard after taking action on climate change by reducing its carbon footprint
The Carbon Trust Standard is the world's only initiative that requires an organisation to take action themselves by reducing their own carbon emissions year-on-year.
Nick Foot, Hotelscene's Managing Director, said:
"We're delighted to have the Carbon Trust Standard symbol. It is a great way of showing that we have taken action on climate change and communicating our environmental credentials."
"In the current climate it's essential that we remain competitive, and the Carbon Trust Standard is another way we can stay ahead of the game. Cutting carbon is a priority for us as a business and we have cut our carbon emissions by a significant percentage as part of the initiative."
Hotelscene is actively pursuing a reduction in its carbon footprint through a combination of energy and environmental policies, energy reduction projects and energy reduction targets.
Tom Delay, CEO of the Carbon Trust said:
"We congratulate Hotelscene in achieving the Carbon Trust Standard and challenge other organisation to follow their example and prove that they too are taking tangible steps to fight climate change."
The Carbon Trust Standard was launched in June 2008 with the support of Environment Secretary Hilary Benn and Dragon's Den entrepreneur Deborah Meaden.
Deborah Meaden, Dragon's Den entrepreneur, said: "I passionately believe that success in business and positive action on the environment can go hand in hand and deliver real bottom line benefits. The Carbon Trust Standard is about showing which organisations have really taken practical action on climate change - it cuts through greenwash and celebrates those businesses making genuine reductions in their carbon emissions. Tackling environmental issues has to be seen as both a business priority and opportunity and achieving the Carbon Trust Standard is a great way of recognising truly progressive organisations."
