Are you spending more money than you need to at your Hotel?

If you have not implemented an Environmental Management system at your hospitality business you are spending a lot more than you should in your utilities.

Who is the person responsible right now to decide when your equipment should be turned on or off?

Who is responsible to measure your food waste production?

Who decides when taps should be left running?

If you can not answer those 3 questions then you really need to invest some time on a green programme.

Environmental sustainability to us, at the Fifty Shades Greener office, is all about been efficient with your resources, the energy & water your business uses and the waste it produces. The key here is that reducing those resources, will not only make you a Greener business with less impact on the environment, but it is also going to SAVE YOU MONEY.

I have worked with properties were we have reduced energy use by 30% in the first 4 months, do you know how much savings that would mean to your business? If you want to find out, get all your electricity, gas and oil bills for 2019 (last year), add them all up, and now imagine you could have pocketed 30% of that sum. Would it be worth investing a bit of time on a Green Programme?

If you have never taught your employees the correct behaviour around the use of energy & water and production of waste, they are more than likely spending YOUR MONEY wrongly. This is not their fault! They have never been told anything different.

How us, humans, behave around utilities, is a key component on our usage. There are so many simple systems and processes you can implement at your business right now, without spending a fortune, that will help your employees change their behaviour and reduce their consumption, which means, you WILL SAVE MONEY.

That’s exactly what the Fifty Shades Greener programmes teach you and your workforce. We are ex-hospitality managers ourselves, we have been in your shoes 8 years ago when we first tried to implement a green programme at a Hotel. We know the barriers you will face and the solutions to those barriers.

We will not waste your time preaching about sustainability, or why it is absolutely necessary to reduce our carbon footprint, our programmes are straight to the point. One simple framework that will teach you and your employees, step by step, the systems and processes you need to implement each week, to run a greener business within a few months.

Implementing a green programme is not the “nice” thing to do, it is the “smart” thing to do.
