Nishitetsu Hotels will switch electricity usage to CO2-free
electricity at 13 hotels nationwide!
～Contributing to the realization of a decarbonized society～
……
Starting in April 2024, Nishitetsu Hotels Co., Ltd. (Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture, President and CEO: Tatsuya Toyofuku) will introduce electricity derived from CO2-free renewable energy using non-fossil certificate procurement.
The target hotels this time are 13 out of 18 hotels nationwide operated by our company. The CO2 reduction effect of this greening (*1) is approximately 7,600 tons per year, equivalent to approximately 4,400 ordinary households (*2).
In addition to working to further expand the number of hotels eligible for greening, our hotel group will accelerate decarbonized management by striving for further “energy conservation” at each hotel, such as eco-cleaning (*3) and reducing the use of plastic amenities. We aim to realize a sustainable society and contribute to the SDGs.
*1 Greening: Using non-fossil certificates, etc. to make the electricity used essentially renewable energy.
*2: Calculated based on the annual CO2 emissions (electricity) per household of 1.72 (t-CO2) from the Ministry of the Environment’s “FY2020 Statistical Survey on CO2 Emissions in the Household Sector” *3 Eco-cleaning: With the customer’s understanding, we do not clean or change sheets or loungewear during consecutive nights.
