Consider the hotel - an enterprise embarking upon the sustainability path: We begin with a life-cycle GHG Emissions Inventory of your hotel, we view it through the lens of your organizational structure to identify key contributors, big-hitters, hot-spots. We map your direct emissions from sources controlled by you (electricity, fuels, refrigeration equipment etc.), and investigate carbon intensity of your upstream and downstream supply networks - understanding the embodied emissions from extraction, production and transportation of goods & services purchased or acquired by The Hotel in the reporting year.

Walk Through The Process

Step 1 : Measuring the emissions

This includes emissions from products and processes within The Hotel as as ones that flow into, or out of, The Hotel.
Raw Materials
  • Extraction & production
  • Distribution of raw material
Indirect Energy Purchased electricity heat & steam
Business Travel Employees’ commute & business travel
Operations at the hotel
  • Fossil Fuel consumption
  • Refrigeration equipment
  • Fertilizers
Distribution Of supplies/products to other properties & catering clients
Transportation Of guests to tourist destinations
Disposal solid waste disposal, wastewater treatment, recycling

1. Raw Materials

/ Raw materials, cement, paper, groundwater-supply (tanker), soaps & detergents, food supplies.
  • Extraction, production, and transportation of goods and services purchased or acquired by The Hotel in the reporting year.
Ground & tanker water + 0.6 tonnes CO2e
Dairy + 60.2 tonnes CO2e
Meat: Red & Pork + 25.2 tonnes CO2e
Bottled Water + 42 tonnes CO2e

Total emissions: 90.2 tonnes CO2e

2. Business Travel

/ car travel, air travel
  • Transportation of employees for business-related activities during the reporting year (in vehicles not owned or operated by the hotel)
Car Travel + 10.1 tonnes CO2e
Air Travel + 15.1 tonnes CO2e

Total emissions: 115.4 tonnes CO2e

3. Distribution of raw Materials

/ road freight for food supplies
  • Transportation and distribution of products purchased by the hotel in the reporting year between a company’s tier 1 suppliers and its own operations (in vehicles and facilities not owned or controlled by the reporting company)
Road + 35.6 tonnes CO2e
Railways + 3.2 tonnes CO2e
Airways + 9.3 tonnes CO2e

Total emissions: 163.5 tonnes CO2e

4. Electricity

/ emissions and losses?
  • Emissions of purchased electricity
  • Transmission and distribution (T&D) losses
Emissions of purchased electricity, T&D losses + 707.6 tonnes CO2e

Total emissions: 871.5 tonnes CO2e

5. Fossil fuels

/ fossil fuels (biomass, coal, diesel), refrigerants, incineration
  • emissions of purchased fuels by the hotel.
Fossil fuels + 258 tonnes CO2e
Refrigerate + 73.7 tonnes CO2e
Incinerate + 36.9 tonnes CO2e

Total emissions: 1239.7 tonnes CO2e

6. Waste disposal

/composting, land filling
  • Disposal and treatment of waste generated in the hotels operations in the reporting year (in facilities not owned or controlled by the reporting company)
Composting + 10.1 tonnes CO2e
Landfilling + 7.3 tonnes CO2e

Total emissions: 1257.1 tonnes CO2e

7. Distribution of raw materials

/eg. recycled paper products, organic produce
  • Transportation and distribution of products purchased by the hotel in the reporting year between the hotels operations and the end consumer
Road + 26.2 tonnes CO2e
Railways + 2.63 tonnes CO2e
Airways + 8.52 tonnes CO2e

Total emissions: 1294.5 tonnes CO2e

Carbon footprint of The Hotel

1294.5 tonnes CO2e

Step 2: Building a sustainability plan

This includes emissions from products and processes within The Hotel as well as ones that flow into, or out of, The Hotel.
