Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) has received Green Tourism accreditation for all 14 of its properties in the United Kingdom.
This certification, which is distributed by the authority in sustainable tourism, Green Tourism, marks a significant achievement in MHR’s “ongoing” commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.
Of the 14 properties, nine, including sites such as The Chelsea Harbour Hotel and Spa and Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington, have been bestowed with the esteemed silver accreditation. The remaining five properties have earned the bronze accreditation.
According to the group, it managed to secure this sustainability accreditation through its ‘Millennium Green Path’ initiative, which added an array of eco-friendly practices and amenities to its UK portfolio.
The initiative emphasised the elimination of single-use plastics, paperless events, digital signage, and the use of glass bottles for filtered water. This initiative also promoted carbon budgeting for events and utilised renewable energy sources, LED lighting, and advanced temperature control in meeting spaces to reduce the carbon footprint.
