PPHE Hotel Group has taken a “significant step” towards achieving its net zero status by partnering with the Zero Carbon Forum.
Zero Carbon Forum is a non-profit organisation which empowers its members to reach sustainability targets with “greater speed, efficiency, and profit as a united effort”.
With defined roadmaps backed by peers, government, and leading sustainability experts, it claims to help hospitality organisations progress towards a net zero future.
With close to 40 members and a membership base that’s doubled in 12 months, PPHE Hotel Group is the latest and second largest hotel group to sign up to the forum.
With external and internal support, including from the forum, PPHE Hotel Group will develop its net zero strategy through the course of this year. Zero Carbon Forum will share its knowledge, insights, innovation and best practices to help the group deliver a long-term, sustainable model.
Inbar Zilberman, chief corporate and legal officer at PPHE Hotel Group, said: “Joining Zero Carbon Forum is another positive move in our commitment to achieving net zero status.
“Last year we formed a new ESG committee to help set targets for carbon reduction, launched our Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures reporting for the first time, and made our owned and managed hotels in the UK, Netherlands and Germany wholly reliant on electricity generated from 100% renewable sources.”
He added: “Now, with guidance from the forum, we will be able to define a strategy that sets manageable targets, reduces our carbon footprint, and makes our business ever more sustainable.”
Mark Chapman, CEO of Zero Carbon Forum, said: “We need to act now and at pace. It’s great to have PPHE on the forum so that together we all play a part in building a zero-carbon world.
“Partnerships are crucial to this mission, to strengthen our strategic approach in helping organisations reach net zero in their own operations and across their value chains, and well in advance of the Government’s 2050 target.”
