Hotel consultancy the PKF hospitality group has joined the Energy & Environment Alliance (EEA).
The EEA is a not-for-profit, global coalition of hospitality leaders and experts that focuses on helping the industry transition to a carbon-zero economy by supporting the implementation of environmental, social and governance (ESG) measures across businesses in the hospitality sector.
The team of the PKF hospitality group alongside its colleagues at PKF Littlejohn will work with the EEA, whose members own over 24,000 hotel properties around the world, to develop, promote and support universal, scientifically robust standards and metrics for sustainable design, construction and management of hotels and other hospitality assets.
Adam Maclennan, senior managing director and head of UK & Ireland of PKF hospitality group said: 'It has never been more important for our industry to work together to solve the biggest challenges we collectively face as hospitality professionals and as inhabitants of this planet.
'With new legislation and consumer demand forcing owners, operators and suppliers to face up to the changes they need to make in their businesses and supply chains, there is a knowledge gap in our industry that has to be bridged if we are to tackle the important issues and take action to help achieve the science-based targets and support the UN’s sustainable development goals. The EEA is working to bridge this gap.'
Ufi Ibrahim, CEO, EEA, commented: 'The EEA’s main ambition is to forge a network of engaged and proactive industry leaders with the knowledge, skills and ambition to drive sustainable business practices forward across the sector. I’m absolutely delighted that the PKF hospitality group has signed up to be part of the EEA and support the adoption of ESG measures amongst our members.'
