The Hong Kong Sustainable Communications Association (HKSCA) announced at its annual awards ceremony that InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong has been awarded the 2006 ‘Eco-Hotel Champion’ award.
InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong has practiced eco-friendly policies for many years and has been much more active since 1999 when a clear vision for an eco-friendly future was established. By examining all areas of the hotel and all future development plans, a number of strategies were put in place and honed into a ‘green policy’. In 1999, the hotel introduced the ISO Environmental Management System and was awarded the ISO14001 certification in August 2000.
The last six years have seen the advancement of the eco-friendly policy into a culture where each and every staff member actively embraces ‘green thinking’ – recycle, repair, reuse, refill, replace and reduce. The development of a Green Committee and regular think-tank sessions have further enhanced the hotel’s green policy.
Commenting on the award, Mr. Peter Pollmeier, General Manager of the hotel stated “Winning the award is a great honor. The entire team at InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong is dedicated to developing a green philosophy and I think the award is a wonderful reflection of all the hard work and effort that has gone into this cause. We firmly believe that a good green policy makes good business sense”.
