In February 2021, IHG\u00ae Hotels & Resorts launched Journey to Tomorrow<\/a>, a series of ambitious new commitments to make a positive difference for people, communities, and planet over the next decade. The company has committed to reduce energy use and carbon emissions, pioneer the transformation to a minimal waste hospitality industry, conserve water, and help secure water access in those areas at greatest risk. As a part of the IHG family, IHG\u00ae Army Hotels has also committed to work toward the future of sustainable travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

$1.87 million in savings to date<\/b><\/u><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IHG\u00ae Army Hotels portfolio integrates sustainability and conservation throughout hotel design, construction and operations. IHG selects materials by factoring in embodied energy<\/i> \u2013 the energy needed to harvest, extract, process, manufacture, transport, construct, and maintain a material or product \u2013 then specifies materials that will last the duration of the product cycle, offering more opportunities for enhancing efficiencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past three years, conservation and sustainability efforts have resulted in savings of $1.87 million in electricity, gas, and water expenses. These cost savings are reinvested back into the program for new hotel development and future renovations across the IHG Army Hotels lodging portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
