In this day and age when companies are deemed successes based just on their bottom line, Crowne Plaza Resort is a company that takes its responsibility to the community a notch higher.<\/p>\n

As part of IHG Hotels & Resorts, the global hotel brand whose network of properties spans more than 100 countries ran by a 345,000-strong workforce, Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan is committed to what it believes is its purpose\u2014the delivery of True Hospitality for Good.<\/p>\n

\u201cIHG has strong commitments to drive change for people, communities, and the planet through its \u2018Journey to Tomorrow\u2019 initiative,\u201d said Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan general manager Clayton Darlington.<\/p>\n

This 10-year responsible business plan is IHG\u2019s manifesto of care for both its guests and team, and in partnership with hotel owners, to protect the environment and give back to communities where they do business. Ultimately, IHG would like to create a future of responsible travel that champions a diverse culture where all stakeholders enjoy equality, inclusion, and fairness.<\/p>\n

Among the programs in which the resort takes an active part in is \u201cGreen Engage,\u201d an innovative online program that allows individual hotels to measure the impact of the day-to-day hotel operation on the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am happy to share that the resort is on track in our 2023 energy reduction targets,\u201d said Darlington.<\/p>\n

Another environmental initiative that Crowne Plaza implements is the \u201cGreener Stay\u201d program that incentivizes guests to conserve energy and water, reduce waste, and reuse products such as towels and linen to help reduce the resort\u2019s impact on the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cSustainability and caring for our environment will always be high priorities for the resort. In line with this, we use sustainable products, do regular beach cleanups and the resort recently opened a new herb garden, upcycling materials to create the garden to produce herbs for the chefs to use in our kitchens,\u201d Darlington said.<\/p>\n

In addition, initiatives like using bulk bathroom amenities instead of single-use plastic bottles have a very big impact over a 12-month period.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to keep guests and staff updated on what we\u2019re doing, the more committed people are the bigger the impact,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
