Navigating sustainable growth - a review of the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking Index 2024

Head of Sustainability Pathway, Standards and Reporting at the Alliance, Claire Whitely, joins Senior Manager at Greenview, Rehmaashini Jagarajan, to explore how to navigate sustainable growth, in which they review recent data from the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking Index (CHSB).

The webinar, hosted jointly by the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (the Alliance) and Greenview, detailed the CHSB and its methodology, as well as key findings from the latest data, which include the Alliance’s Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative (HCMI) and Hotel Water Measurement Initiative (HWMI) data. Both methodologies provide standardised, industry-backed data to end users. The insights will highlight how any hotel can calculate its carbon footprint and benchmark its energy, water and carbon emissions at low cost, sourced from a dataset of over 27,000 hotels globally.
