Millennium Hotels and Resorts has unveiled its new sustainability initiative, the Millennium’s Green Path Brand Playbook, aligning itself with the goals of COP28.
The initiative underscores the hospitality company’s recognition of its environmental impact and sets a target to achieve a 27% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 across scopes 1, 2, and 3 [Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard classifications of emissions from particular resources].
Millennium will concentrate on key operational areas in a concerted effort to minimise its environmental footprint. Initiatives will include the implementation of LED lights, guestroom motion sensors and heat pumps to enhance energy efficiency.
As part of its commitment to reducing water-usage intensity, the company will install water sub-meters and deploy water-saving devices wherever feasible.

Local, renewable and ethically sound sources are preferred.

The company actively engages guests through awareness campaigns and materials, fostering eco-friendly practices during their stay.
