“Real-time visibility and reporting of our sustainability has become an increasingly important part of our day-to-day hotel operations, not only in this hotel but throughout our entire organization, As an example, with our commitment to sustainability we put measures in place across the hotel to increase our landfill diversion rate, which helps reduce our environmental carbon footprint. We have installed a bio-digester in the kitchen for all food waste from hotel operations as well as recycling all paper, cardboard, glass and plastic bottles. The result of our actions and using the Verdafero software we are now able to accurately track, analyze and report our waste disposal streams, energy usage, water consumption and carbon footprint at the touch of a button rather than having to employ a spreadsheet expert to try and track all these metrics manually. As of June 2013 we have seen an increase in our landfill diversion rate from 14.1% in June 2011 to 37% in June 2013, equivalent to 13.3 tons of waste that we have been able to keep out of the municipal landfill which reduces our waste disposal costs.”
