A Hong Kong Hotel That Cares for the Planet

Novotel Century Hong Kong is proud to be a Green Globe certified hotel. The hotel was certified in 2009, after a vigorous audit process, to certify that the operations of the Hong Kong boutique hotel focus on not only sustainability but also social responsibility in the local community. In addition to this, the hotel has participated in numerous events aimed at educating its staff and local community regarding environmental and social responsibilities.

Novotel: the brand that respects the environment

Novotel has always been an innovator in the hotel industry. Since the brand's creation 40 years ago, the chain has evolved and anticipated client expectations. Novotel has introduced innovations regarding well-being, comfort and sustainable development.

Concern for the environment is part of Novotel's DNA. The brand is pursuing its long-term commitment within the framework of the Accor Group's Earth Guest program.

It is focusing on three areas of endeavor:

  • Establishing construction standards
  • Ensuring that staff and employees practice sustainable development on a daily basis
  • Helping hotel guests feel concerned and involved.

To affirm its operational commitment, Novotel signed a partnership agreement in July 2007 with Green Globe, the international environmental certification program for responsible travel and tourism

Our commitment to sustainable development with a worldwide certification program.
Green Globe

To this end, Novotel launched the pilot phase of its Green Globe certification program in July 2007, which involves 28 hotels in 12 countries on 5 continents. The countries are: the United Kingdom, Switzerland, France, Brazil, Ivory Coast, India, China, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.

At present, Novotel has 30 certified hotels.

Each hotel will be assessed on eight performance criteria in order to guarantee, among other things:

  • Better waste management.
  • Reduction of all pollutants.
  • Controlled water and energy consumption.

Thus, Novotel actively joins the fight against global warming.

An audit will be carried out on each hotel in order for it to obtain Green Globe certification within 6 to 12 months. After certification, audits are conducted annually to ensure performance is maintained.
