TROY — Embassy Suites Detroit-Troy/Auburn Hills announced that it has been accepted as a GreenPartner into the new TripAdvisor GreenLeaders program, which helps travelers plan greener trips by identifying environmentally-friendly accommodations across the United States.
TripAdvisor GreenLeaders have met a set of environmental standards developed for TripAdvisor by a leading environmental consulting firm, with input from expert partners. The more green practices a hotel has in place, the higher its GreenLeader level, which is shown on the property’s listing on the TripAdvisor site.
Travelers can now search for accommodations that have a GreenLeaders status on the TripAdvisor site, and view a detailed list of environmentally-friendly practices that they can expect at each location.
“TripAdvisor GreenLeaders are leading the hospitality industry in making efforts to improve their environmental footprint,” Jenny Rushmore, director of responsible travel at TripAdvisor, said. “We greatly applaud these accommodations and are pleased to share their eco-friendly practices with our online audience of more than 200 million travelers.”
The TripAdvisor GreenLeaders program was developed in partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR program, the U.S. Green Building Council, and the United Nations Environment Programme. For more information, please visit www.tripadvisor.com/GreenLeaders.
In its continued green efforts, the Embassy Suites Detroit/Troy-Auburn Hills additionally announces the addition of two Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. “We are proud to do our part in the green efforts of today’s society and are very excited to have been named a TripAdvisor Green Partner,” Eric Welch, General Manager of the Embassy Suites Detroit/Troy-Auburn Hills, said. “Additionally, we are looking forward to our guests utilizing the new EV Charging Stations that we’ve had installed with them and the environment in mind!”
