Fairmont Debuts Green Sheets

Fairmont Debuts “Green Sheets”
May 20, 2009

By Alex Palmer

Fairmont is looking to make it easier—and easier on the wallet—for groups to go green. Today Fairmont Hotels & Resorts announced the release of its new Green Sheets, which will provide information on the environmental and sustainability initiatives at each of the brand’s 56 hotels and resorts. The sheets can be downloaded and viewed at the company’s Web site, and include such information as whether the food served for groups and programs is locally grown, what kind of recycling programs the property has in place, and what other sorts of conservation efforts are in place. For example, the Fairmont Southampton in Bermuda (pictured) notes that it collects rainwater from the property’s rooftop in an underground storage tank for use in hotel operations.

Alongside these new Green Sheets, Fairmont is also promoting its Sweet Meeting Deal, which offers a 10 percent credit for functions booked and executed by June 30, 2010.

Also noted in the Green Sheets is what sort of green certifications and seals of approval the properties have received or are trying to receive, such as The Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club’s efforts to gain certification from Florida’s Green Lodging Program, and all of the Fairmont’s California hotels and resorts' participation in California’s Green Lodging Program.

The hotelier is using the sheets to help showcase Fairmont’s Eco-Meet program, which offers environmentally sustainable options for groups visiting any of the Fairmont’s properties for a meeting or an incentive. The program is divided into four components: Eco-Accommodation, Eco-Cuisine, Eco-Service, and Eco-Programming.
