Sustainable Profit entails two important points:
When it comes to economic sustainability, earning Profit is a good thing. How you make that Profit and what you do with it, though, is what truly matters.
While sustainability can be expensive in the short-term as your hotel makes investments in new technology, equipment and upgrades that decrease your carbon footprint, it pays off. By adopting sustainable practices, you realise efficiencies and cost savings over the long-term thanks to reduced water and energy consumption, smarter buying habits and more.
