CarbonView assists The Westin Melbourne see green
Carbon accounting technology enables hotel guests to make a green choice
Sydney, 12 April 2010 – CarbonView’s award winning carbon management and accounting software
has been instrumental in The Westin Melbourne’s new “Make a Green Choice” program. The Westin
Melbourne’s initiative, developed in association with CarbonView and carbon offset provider Climate
Friendly, offers hotel guests the option to offset carbon emissions generated through
their stay
or
business event.
After extensive research and measurement of
the
lifecycle of carbon emissions,
The Westin
Melbourne can now measure and project the amount of carbon generated by an event or stay. The
Make a Green Choice program provides guests and clients
with
the option to offset their activity
through a tailored offset fee which is then invested in projects that reduce greenhouse gases.
The carbon measurement and allocation process was
enabled
by the CarbonView software which
provided a robust and detailed calculation of the footprint generated by a guest’s activity at The Westin
Melbourne.
“One of the biggest challenges facing businesses today is the drive to effectively reduce their carbon
footprint.
The Make a Green Choice program offers our clients and guests the ability to make their
business activities carbon neutral and reduce their impact on the environment,”
says
The Westin
Melbourne’s General Manager, Richard Bussiere.
Leveraging both the CarbonView software and the extended services provided by the CarbonView
team, The Westin Melbourne has also undertaken significant steps to measure and reduce their
organisation’s overall carbon footprint.
Mr Bussiere adds:
“The Westin Melbourne has a
long-term strategy for reducing its overall carbon
footprint. CarbonView has been instrumental in the measurement and monitoring of emissions data
and assisting with the ongoing management of emissions”.
