ISO 14000 Standards in Hotel Industry 2
Introduction
Hotel industry consumes huge range of goods in the construction as well as operation.
They often use large amounts of energy, consuming the huge amounts of the water as well as
generating the improper quantity of waste. I have chosen hotel industry for creating a
fictitious company. Hotel ABC has been fortunate for that there have been several things,
which may do among the present hotel operations, usually at less or zero cost, which would
save the money both in shorter as well as longer term. When the Hotel ABC that has been
educing their energy and water consumption, when this has been making effective use of the
esources & reducing the waste without being compromising on the quality or the standard of
service, this would enhance competitiveness of business. With its own responsibility towards
culture, they have been well positioned for encouraging others, which involves its suppliers
and also business partners for doing same.
Environmental Perspective
Hotel ABC is using whole range of professional services by advertising agents
towards the merchant banks as well as communicating through the diverse media. Such inter
dependence among lot of other businesses provides the hotels unique options to challenge the
usiness partners for helping in the cultural mission as well as towards looking at how it may
change its own activities for being much more environmentally conscious. This has been
important that Hotel ABC make its consumers aware about its schemes and educate them
towards co-operating with the hotel in its initiatives.
Through spreading word they may influence its competitors. But, caution is required
to be exercised to review green initiatives that if taken yesterday have been still remaining
green even these days.

Environmental Issues
Harmful effects of the propellants used in the spray cans had not been known. Thus,
one has to keep a
east about the newer and emerging environmental challenges as
well as to maintain the flexibility to mend ways to protect the environment. Several
leading hotels have launched the proactive programs for improve environmental
performance of its products, processes, services as well as facilities.
Challenges faced through Hotel ABC consist of gauging its performance against rest
of the hotels in the industry and also identifying energy efficiency betterment options.
However, those initiatives are not being much publicised, can be because of the
higher level of competition in the sector. This has also been seen that certain
international chain of hotels that are operating may not even have the environmental
policy while place when its counterparts in rest of the countries have been called for
its green image. But, of late, scenario has been changing very fast for betterment,
ecause local as well as global environmental pressures have been becoming very
evident.
Hotel ABC has only been starting to feel that the energy and the environmental
management have been the cutting edge strategies for the profitability of its business.
With establishment of the International Standards for the Environmental Management
such as EMS, ISO 14001, the hotel industry around the world has been taking benefit
to implement such standards, which have been compared around the world.
Acting along, Hotel ABC might be the formidable force to influence the substantial as
well as diverse body of the people through challenging suppliers of environmental
impact of the goods and the services and also through asking when there may be the
alternatives.
