Each quarterly corporate benchmarking report, comparing a variety of energy metrics across Hilton properties, is sent to individual hotel general managers and directors. For hotels that perform poorly, Hilton makes available an independent consulting firm to conduct audits. Hilton initiated a successful agreement with Panasonic to offer ENERGY STAR labeled televisions to franchised hotels, which is now being expanded to cover all brands. Hilton’s management approach has resulted in the prevention of more than 64 million pounds of carbon dioxide and savings of $2.5 million.
