Making strides for our environment every day
At Kimpton, heartfelt care doesn’t start and stop with our employees and guests. We’re passionately committed to extending care to our communities and that begins with how we treat our planet. We’ve proudly implemented over 100 practices to make our hotels, restaurants, community and world a better place. So when you’re staying or dining with us, rest assured we’re doing everything we can to create an environmentally-responsible experience.
Since our very early days, we continue to put the environment front and centre in our operations. Today, we prioritise IHG Green Engage certification across our portfolio to track consumption data, install energy efficient lighting and uphold a Green Team committee to drive our continued efforts.
We know that what we do today to sustain our environment will have a direct impact tomorrow and the days that follow. We’ve got big goals in our Journey for Tomorrow to preserve our planet’s beauty and diversity.
Sustainably minded
To minimise our water consumption, energy usage and drive sustainable operations practices, here are some highlights:
- We use non-toxic cleaning supplies, extensively recycle and minimise our water consumption.
- Whenever possible we source our collateral and signage from recycled materials
- Many of our hotels utilise energy-efficient LED lighting in our guestrooms, corridors and public spaces.
- Many of our hotels have faucets, shower heads and toilets that utilise low flow water systems to help conserve water usage.
- Most of our properties utilise large, refillable shampoo, conditioner and shower gel amenities by Atelier Bloem, eliminating the disposal of small plastic bottles.
- We source nearby farms and other food purveyors to reduce the carbon emissions of long-haul travel and to support our local economy. The bonus to you, our guest, is incredibly fresh cuisine.
- We’ve removed the use of plastic straws at all our restaurants and bars to minimise the chemicals released into the environment from plastic straws.
- We pour sustainable or environmentally conscious wine at our evening wine hour at all our properties as part of our ‘Wines that Care’ programme.
