Novotel London West in Hammersmith, London, won best HR Strategy to Support Environmental Excellence and was highly commended in the Best Leadership Driving Change category in the recent World Business Green Business Awards.
The hotel, which has introduced a number of initiatives to reduce its carbon footprint, including recycling paper, glass, textiles and plastics, motion sensors to control the use of lighting, and ‘plan heat exchange’, where heat from hot water pipes is extracted used as energy for other purposes, picked up the Best HR strategy award beating off strong competition from Hewlett-Packard.
Michael Sloan, general manager, Novotel London West, said: “We are delighted to have won in the inaugural year of these awards. Environmental sustainability will continue to be an important issue in the business world and we are proud to be leading the way and innovating in this area.
“To underline our commitment to environmental sustainability we have recently appointed a health and safety and environmental manager. Tracey Arnold will work to ensure the hotel continues to champion green initiates and is held up as an example to the outside world.”
