Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Awarded Carbon Trust Standard

Millennium & Copthorne Hotels has just been awarded the Carbon Trust

Standard for measuring, managing and reducing its carbon emissions by more

than 2% across its UK-based properties.

The group has been reducing its carbon emissions since 2007 in a bid to

minimise its environmental impact. The energy-saving initiatives include

fitting water-saving shower heads and taps, installing low-energy lighting,

recycling food waste, providing bicycle racks and encouraging staff to

commute by bike, and working with suppliers to reduce the miles driven to

deliver goods.

Clive Harrington, SVP Operations at Millennium & Copthorne Hotels,

commented: "We are delighted to be awarded the Carbon Trust Standard and

that our efforts to reduce carbon emissions have been recognised. Our

commitment to making energy savings not only helps reduce our carbon

footprint, but also makes us more efficient, helping us to deliver better

value for our customers and shareholders.

The Carbon Trust Standard recognises organisations that are committed to

real carbon reduction. Based on a rigorous, independent assessment, the

Standard certifies organisations that have measured, managed and reduced

their carbon emissions across their own operations and are committed to

reducing them year-on-year.
