Accra City Hotel looks to scaling up sustainability credentials
Accra City Hotel, Ghana’s premium four-star facility is poised to deepen its credentials as an environmentally conscious and sustainable hospitality provider. The hotel is an International Standards Organisation (ISO) certified property for its sustainability programme, with established protocols for energy conservation, waste segregation, and cutting down on food waste.
This is in addition to maintaining excellent and competitive service standards of true Ghanaian origin with a global appeal.
In an interview with VoyagesAfriq, newly appointed Acting General Manager of Accra City Hotel, Divine Matey disclosed that to further entrench its sustainability positioning, the hotel is working towards adapting some of the SDGs. “To place us more strategically, we want to adapt five of the UN Sustainability Goals (SDGs) and develop a sustainability report which will show on our website so that the whole world will see that we want to be part of the green world,” he said.
He said further that they have strict routines for food and general waste that are in line with best sustainable practices.
Matey averred, “With the waste food, we have a company that picks up the waste and also does segregation. We segregate into three main areas; that is, organic, paper, and plastic and we have dedicated bins for that. We also have separate entries for both the raw food and waste food so that we do not contaminate anything in the process.”
