Hilton achieves energy savings

Apr 11, 2008

The savings are part of the group’s “We Care!” initiative, which has also seen Hilton reduce water consumption by 5 per cent, and CO2 emissions by 11 per cent since 2006.

The hotel chain has recognised individual hotels within its portfolio for exceptional energy performances last year, with the Hilton Amsterdam Schiphol Airport taking top spot in the Benelux region, and the Hilton Paris Charles de Gaulle coming out top in France and the eastern Mediterranean area.

Among the individual hotels with green initiatives are: the Hilton Istanbul, which collects waste soap from guest rooms to grate and reuse for washing staff uniforms; the Hilton Milan, which recycles 1,000 metal coat hangers per month; and the Hilton Strasbourg, which has installed new bathroom taps with motion-detection systems.

Hilton aims to reduce energy consumption by 15 per cent by 2009, compared with 2006 levels.
