Sustainable environmental practices not only minimise an organization's environmental footprint but there is also potential for significant bottom-line gains. This program focuses on environmental sustainability in hospitality where the focus in recent decades has been very much about efficient resource use, minimising waste and maximising productivity. Areas covered include identifying resources and environmental issues, compliance with regulations, and improving resource efficiency. Award-winning Melbourne-based Alto Hotel, Australia's first carbon-neutral hotel, presents an excellent case study. Further expert comment is offered by an industry trainer from Kangan Institute's Centre for Competitive Operations.
