Cleveland Airport Marriott Graduates from E4S Cleveland's Sustainability Implementation (SI) Program
Cleveland Airport Marriott was recently one of four organizations to graduate from the E4S Sustainability Implementation (SI) Program. As a result of this training, the Cleveland hotel has identified opportunities to save money while continuing to help the planet.
As part of the E4S SI Program, the Cleveland, OH hotel completed three assessments (waste, energy, and procurement) that helped them find areas of opportunity that would benefit from the implementation of further green initiatives at the property.
Cleveland Airport Marriott joined the SI Program during its $20M renovation. The renovation resulted in a makeover for the property's 372 guest rooms, conference rooms, and common areas.
In addition, the hotel near the Cleveland airport constructed a new restaurant, AMP 150 (America's Modern Pallet on 150th Street), which features locally grown food. The Marriott green team plans to develop part of its property into a vegetable garden this spring and use the produce in its kitchen. It doesn't get any more local than that!
The result of the program was a strategic plan that aligned sustainable business practices with existing company strategies and culture. The hotel also graduated with valuable peer relationships, which further support implementation after the program ends.
