LAS VEGAS, Nov. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Caesars
Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR) has surpassed its Green Key
certification goal of having 90 percent of owned or managed North
American hotel resort properties achieve a 4 Key rating or higher.
Thirty of its hotel resort properties are rated 4 Keys — more than
any other casino-entertainment company in the world.
Recently accredited by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council,
Green Key is a rigorous program that ranks, certifies and inspects
hotels and resorts based on their commitment to sustainable
operations. Green Key uses a rating system of 1 to 5 Keys, with 5
being the highest possible attainment.
"With nearly all our properties rated 4 Green Keys or higher,
Caesars has once again set a standard for environmental
responsibility in the hospitality industry," said Mark Frissora, CEO of Caesars Entertainment.
"Backed by a strong corporate commitment to sustainable practices,
this initiative is driven by our incredibly passionate CodeGreen
team members, who work each day to reduce environmental impact
while providing a great guest experience."
Achieving this eco-rating is just one outcome of Caesars
Entertainment's comprehensive environmental strategy, CodeGreen.
Every other year, Caesars CodeGreen teams complete Green Key's
comprehensive self-assessment to evaluate environmental practices
and polices across departments of the hotel, including food and
beverage, housekeeping, meeting facilities, engineering and
corporate environmental management. Within these five areas,
CodeGreen teams examine energy and water conservation, solid and
hazardous waste management, building infrastructure, community
outreach and other sustainable practices.
Caesars' proprietary research shows that its guests care about
how the company manages use of natural resources, saying that the
company's CodeGreen program influences their choice to stay and
play at Caesars.
