Cornell Sustainability Roundtable Proceedings Demonstrate Complexity of Green Operations
The Cornell Center for Hospitality Research (CHR) has posted the proceedings of its inaugural Sustainability Roundtable.
The proceedings, which are available at no charge from the CHR website, www.hotelschool.cornell.edu/research/chr/pubs/roundtableproceedings/, cover the roundtable's examination of key points regarding the lodging industry's efforts to operate sustainably, including such issues as the definition of sustainability, emerging regulations and laws, engaging guests, and the complexity of carbon neutrality.
"When we issued highlights of the sustainability roundtable late last year, people were interested in learning more about the discussions," said Rohit Verma, CHR executive director. "So, with the assistance of our panel members, we now have the expanded proceedings." The roundtable was chaired by associate professor David Sherwyn.
The roundtable participants agreed that guests expect hotels to operate in a sustainable manner
