Cambean Hospitality becomes world’s most progressive carbon neutral hospitality company

Cambean Hospitality announced that they will soon be the most Earth-friendly, carbon neutral hospitality company in the world. Cambean plans to achieve this designation by installing solar panels and a wind turbine on the roof of the Clifton South Beach Hotel, and by purchasing carbon offsets and renewable energy credits (RECs) from Boulder, Colo.-based Renewable Choice Energy to offset Cambean’s fuel and electricity consumption.

“While many hospitality companies have embraced being ‘Green,’ their involvement, and the involvement of their guests, is purely a voluntary or opportunistic approach and is not mandated by corporate guidelines,” stated Brian Scheinblum, president of Cambean Hospitality. “Cambean Hospitality, on the other hand, has quantified the carbon footprint for our entire portfolio of properties, and is mandating that we become carbon neutral. To that end, we’ve invested in the most progressive accounting, offsetting and renewable credit purchase program anywhere.”

“In order to quantify energy consumption, Cambean Hospitality hired HVS in Miami to perform an Operations Sustainability Analysis (OSA)… The HVS OSA also includes a quantification of the carbon emissions footprint relative to the hotel, as prepared by EnviRelation. The EnviRelation carbon emissions report is the only one of its kind that calculates the full carbon footprint of a hotel property inclusive of all scopes – electric, gas, water consumption, as well as employee transportation to the property, trash removal, linen services, etc. Next, Cambean Hospitality reached out to Renewable Choice Energy to design an offset and renewable energy credit program based on the carbon footprint of the entire portfolio.

“In order to become carbon neutral, a company must address all three scopes of energy consumption and emissions, and Cambean Hospitality has done that,” stated Scheinblum. “Through our aggressive offsetting and credit investments, we are addressing the direct emissions from company-owned assets (Scope 1), indirect emissions from purchased electricity, and indirect emissions from outsourced activities.”
