How Companies Are Adopting More Sustainable Travel Practices
At the IHG in Mexico, we are committed to the planet by offering sustainable travel options that align with our guests’ values and expectations. Just like us, companies are increasingly aware of their environmental impact and are taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint when it comes to travel practices.
Eco-friendly Actions for a Better World
Adopting sustainable travel practices reduces environmental impact and promotes corporate responsibility. By adopting eco-friendly actions, companies can reduce their carbon footprint, support local communities, and promote a healthier planet. Here are some key strategies they are implementing:
Selective Travel Planning
Companies are evaluating the necessity of trips, opting for virtual meetings when possible. When travel is unavoidable, they combine multiple meetings into one trip to reduce travel frequency. Every IHG in CDMX has an excellent location and the travelers can reach their meetings in the city easily from our hotels.
Eco-Friendly Transportation Choices
Businesses are encouraging employees to choose direct flights, use public transportation, or carpool. They are also promoting the use of electric or hybrid vehicles. For those staying at an IHG hotel in Mexico City, the subway is a perfect choice.
Green Accommodations
Many companies now prefer hotels with sustainability certifications and practices, such as energy efficiency, waste reduction, and water conservation. All IHGs in Mexico adhere to the “Hotel Sustainability Basics” program, a set of basic criteria that all hotels must apply to promote responsible travel and tourism.
Light Packing
Employees are encouraged to pack light, as lighter luggage means planes use less fuel. They also bring reusable items like water bottles and utensils to avoid single-use plastics. Also, choosing to stay at the best suite in Mexico City will provide all the amenities you need.
Carbon Offsetting
Companies are investing in carbon offset programs to compensate for the emissions generated by business travel.
Supporting Local Economies
By choosing local businesses for dining, shopping, and services, companies positively impact the communities they visit. Our Polanco luxury hotels have an exceptional location, offering a plethora of gastronomic options as well as shopping centers and small businesses.
The Role of the IHG hotels in Mexico in Promoting Sustainability
The shift towards sustainable travel is a positive change that benefits everyone. At all IHGs in Mexico, we are proud to be part of this movement and are committed to providing our guests with eco-friendly options that do not compromise on luxury or comfort.
By choosing Presidente InterContinental Mexico, you are not only enjoying a memorable stay but also contributing to a greener planet. Join us in embracing sustainable travel practices and experience the best of both worlds at our hotel.
