Hilton Hotels claims to have reduced energy consumption by
10% in 2007 in its 80-plus properties in Europe.
The chain said water consumption has fallen by 5% - the equivalent
to nearly 75 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
"In just two years, we are seeing some very real and
tangible results across Europe" - said Wolfgang M. Neumann,
president Hilton Hotels Europe. "We made a commitment
in January 2006 to think green, take action and responsibility
to switch to more environmentally sustainable methods of working
- today's results speak for themselves.
"The latest results show that we are on course to achieve
our 2009 target of reducing energy consumption by 15%"
- he added.
