The Langham, New York, is now a leader in sustainability having been awarded Silver Certification by EarthCheck, the travel industry’s leader in benchmarking, certifying and advising sustainability at tourism organisations.

“The premise of EarthCheck is based on continuous improvement, which mirrors one of Langham’s core values, Better Every Day,” said Richard Bussiere, managing director of The Langham, New York. “Taking on the challenge to be more sustainable in every aspect of our business is good for our guests, good for our staff and, most of all, good for the planet.”

The Langham has been awarded EarthCheck’s Silver Certified status thanks to the oversight of the hotel’s sustainability programme, Connect, which focuses on helping hotel staff across the company be more mindful about the consumption of energy, water and other natural resources, as well as the generation of waste. The focus of Connect is to minimise each hotel’s impact on the environment in which it operates. - TradeArabia News Service
