Greenview’s online platform for hotel owners, operators, and customers to track, benchmark, report, and improve on various aspects of environmental and social performance. We manage data and perform evaluations for hundreds of hotels, venues, and commercial properties every year, and developed the Greenview Portal for hotels and hotel companies to use the Portal as
their own sustainability management system.
One place to collect all your sustainability data
Store all your sustainability data including energy, water, waste, carbon, sustainable practices,
efficiency programs, and community and giving.
Real time benchmarking of sustainable practices
Benchmark against your competition to stay ahead of the game. Trends data
are available for city, country and global with
growing data set.
Action-oriented dashboard
The dashboard provides a snapshot of your progress,
performance, to-dos, missing data, latest trends data to keep you current.
Automatic calculation of key metrics
Property’s carbon footprint is automatically calculated and industry specific key
metrics such as per occupied room, per guest stays are available through
the Portal.
Guidance on 50+ attributes (and growing)
We understand not everyone is proficient in
sustainable practices. The Portal can be used as a library of resources on
various sustainable practices from low to high
level of difficulty.
Assess your risks and potential impacts
Based on the location of the property, the Portal
provides water risk assessment and
biodiversity reports.
Unlimited number of users under the same property
or portfolio
We understand that sustainable practices at a hotel covers all functional areas. So a property can
have users from front desk, housekeeping, engineering, without incurring additional
fees.
Client ready HCMI reporting capability
It is becoming common practice for customers to request an environmental footprint report, which can be pulled in a few seconds
in client ready format.

INTRODUCTIONIntroductionGreen Lodging Trends Report 2018
The Green Lodging Trends Report is the lodging industry’s annual exercise to assess and catalyze green innovation, best practices, and awareness regarding the state of sustainability across hotels worldwide. The Report highlights and summarizes responses to 115 survey questions in these categories: Energy Management, Waste Management, Water Conservation, Health & Wellness, Back of House, Communications, Staff Involvement, Community Involvement, and Climate Action & Certification.
This year, we received data for 4,544 hotels across 61 countries. Of the overall data set, 2,202 properties were classified as City/Urban Hotels, 814 as Suburban Hotels, 607 as Resorts, 296 as Small Metro/Town, 258 as Airport Hotels, 211 as Convention/ Conference Centers, 66 as Bed & Breakfast (B&B) Hotels and 11 as Serviced Apartments (the remainder of the properties are unidentified). A total of 2,271 properties of the data set were located in Asia-Pacific, 2,127 in the Americas, and 146 in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In terms of service type, 2,564 (56%) properties were classified as full-service properties, and 1,954 (43%) were classified as limited service (the remainder <1% properties’ service type is unidentified). The responses do not represent the full data set, however, as participants were not required to answer all questions. The full data set also includes integration from other sources to augment the missing regions and hotel types.
Participants received an insightful Benchmarking Report with further peer analysis by location and market segmentation across all the best practices surveyed. One of the objectives of this report is to establish a benchmark against which one can compare one’s own property from year to year - whether that is against one’s own progress or that of other similar properties. While impossible to tell the individual stories of thousands of properties, this report includes examples of best practices in action throughout the world.
Thank you to all of you who supported this year’s Green Lodging Trends Report. Be sure to share the results with your colleagues.

Sharing of best practices:
QO Amsterdam, Netherlands“42% decrease in water usage because of our grey water system. Locally filtered & Bottles still and sparkling water for every liter of water that we bottle, 1,000 liters will be donated to development countries by our partner made Blue.”
Sheraton Vistana Resort Villas, Florida, USA“We have an on-site laundry that processes over 9 million pounds of linen and terry per year. We currently take final rinse water, filter (shake) it for sediments and then reuse this “high temp” water for initial wash. Savings are both in water consumption and in fuels as it takes less Natural Gas to heat the water to 180-degree wash temp. We have solar power tech charging stations on pool deck and solar powered stop signs. Several electric golf carts. We even have recycling on pool decks for trash and in smoking areas for recycling cigarette buts. As was noted previously our 135-acre resort was transitioned from potable water irrigation to gray water. All villa/room thermostats are modified to keep temperatures within specific zones (not too cold not too hot). Approximately 60% of the 1682 villas (about the size of a 3500-guest room standard hotel) now boast double pain low “e” emission, windows, sliding glass doors and have primary entry doors changed out.”
Azul Beach Resort Sensatori, Mexico“All grey water (from the sewage treatment plant) is used for irrigation. No potable water is used for irrigation. Pools are only filtered up to 3% of the volume to avoid water waste.”
Best Western Plus Wine Country Inn & Suites, California, USA“We have a water-cooled ice machine. I was able to capture the water after it cooled the coils in the ice machine (which is now very warm water) and deposit it into the swimming pool. This not only helps reduce the amount of water consumption, but also helps heat the pool.”
Terranea Resort, California, USA“Terranea employs natural irrigation and water treatment through a series of wet ponds and vegetated wetland channels called bioswales. These wetlands enhance water quality while serving as a habitat for native avian species. First flush rainfall collection systems called Storm Filters also reduce and treat the runoff of pollutants.”

“Fogo Island Inn takes this even further, employing the Shorefast economic nutrition label to readily demonstrate “where the money goes”. As Innkeeper Zita Cobb explains: “Most people are accustomed to seeing nutritional labelling on the foods and beverages they purchase. These labels allow consumers to make conscious and informed decisions about their food choices. Food nutrition labeling was revolutionary for the food industry. Now, we want to spark the same energy for change with the launch of economic nutrition labelling.” A label at Fogo Island Inn therefore describes how much of a guest’s bill goes to pay staff wages, materials and supplies, and how much is returned to Shorefast, the charity that owns the Inn, to invest in community resilience projects. The label also provides a geographic breakdown of where the money spent by guests ends up, e.g. how much remains in the local community, and in the region.”

World Wildlife Fund
Why was this Hotel|Kitchen created?
World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the American Hotel and Lodging Association (AHLA), with support from The Rockefeller Foundation, came together to work with the hospitality industry on understanding and reducing food waste. Through research and a series of demonstration projects with properties across the country, innovative strategies were identified to engage staff, partners and guests in cutting waste from hotel kitchens. Participating hotels saw reductions of 10-38% in just 12 weeks. If this scaled across the industry – it would eliminate half a million tons of waste within a year.
Who is this toolkit for?
Primarily full service hotels, because changes in buffet and banquet service can have major impact. But the toolkit includes valuable approaches that can be applied to all property formats and food service institutions, including restaurants, cruises, and catering companies.
How do I use the toolkit?
You can start by selecting your role and get relevant content tailored to your responsibilities, or page through the toolkit beginning here. Use the + to jump directly to topics you want.
What are the benefits?
Reducing food waste at your properties does a lot more than feed people and help the environment: it can directly impact your bottom line, engage your staff, and strengthen relationships with your customers. Specifically, we found these strategies can: SAVE MONEY. EMPOWER STAFF. MEET CUSTOMER DEMAND. Individuals, meeting planners and corporate clients, especially large consulting firms, expect their event venues to act sustainably, including minimizing waste.
