Park Plaza Beijing West is making strides to become a greener hotel with its latest environmental initiatives.
Located at the end of Beijing Chang An Boulevard, the 262- room Park Plaza Beijing West is one of the capital’s mid-scale hotels.
The hotel’s environmental program is focused on energy and water conservation, recycling and reducing the use of harmful chemicals. Most recently, Park Plaza Beijing West installed a $1.5 million air freshener system to improve indoor air quality.
As part of the Carlson Hotels Asia Pacific portfolio, the hotel has begun the EarthCheck Program, managed by EC3 Global, an international certifier of sustainable travel and tourism operators.
This program gives the hotel a framework to increase operational efficiencies, maximize the benefit of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and minimize environmental impacts.
Says Peter Schuler, general manager:
“The air freshener system we have introduced is a large investment which will go a long way in ensuring guests have a comfortable stay at our hotel, while minimizing the environmental impact through the energy efficiency of the system. We didn’t just want to stop there. Partnering with EarthCheck is also indicative of the growing emphasis we are placing on achieving sustainable outcomes at our hotel.”
