Large travel businesses like Holiday Inn owner IHG have the power to drive real change by demanding greener supply chains and making sustainability the industry standard.
The Intercontinental Hotel Group (IHG) said on Tuesday it will not reach its 2030 goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 46%.
In addition, it said emissions across the group’s 6,700 hotels and resorts, including its signature brand, Holiday Inn, have risen by 7.2% since 2019.
Catherine Dolton, the chief sustainability officer of IHG, said in a financial presentation that external factors such as slow take up of renewable energy slowed progress.
