Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative (HCMI) free webinar Tuesday 28 April 17:00hrs GMT+1

The Hotel Carbon Measurement Initiative is a free methodology and calculation tool to enable hotels to measure and report on the carbon footprint of a hotel stay or meeting in a consistent way.

In partnership with the Association of Green Property Owners and Managers (AGPOM), the International Tourism Partnership would like to invite you to join our free webinar where we will be explaining, step-by-step, how to use HCMI to calculate the carbon footprint of a hotel stay or meeting in order to;

– Provide carbon footprint information your customers are increasingly requesting

– Understand your environmental impacts and start to reduce these, as well as your costs!

– Enhance your reporting

– Demonstrate your commitment to good environmental management

If you have not used HCMI so far, this is a perfect opportunity to learn more. With over 21,000 hotels globally using HCMI, you'll be in good company!
