Millennium Hotels and Resorts achieves Green Tourism Accreditation

Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) has announced that it has secured the Green Tourism accreditation for all of its owned and managed properties in the United Kingdom.

It said this certification, by the globally recognised authority in sustainable tourism, Green Tourism, marks a “significant achievement” in MHR’s ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable practices.

Of these properties, nine, including prominent names such as The Chelsea Harbour Hotel and Spa and Millennium Gloucester Hotel London Kensington, have been bestowed with the silver accreditation. The remaining nine properties have proudly earned the bronze accreditation.

The group said the accomplishment is a “testament to MHR’s dedication to its groundbreaking Millennium Green Path initiative”.

This program encapsulates an array of eco-friendly practices and amenities, offering guests and stakeholders a sustainable experience that aligns with the highest industry standards for environmental stewardship.

The group also praised its Millennium Green Meetings initiative, which emphasises the elimination of single-use plastics, paperless events, digital signage, and the use of glass or reusable, plant-based water bottles for filtered water. This initiative also promotes carbon budgeting for events and utilises features such as LED lighting and advanced temperature control in meeting spaces to reduce carbon footprint.
