help guests make more sustainable choices .
Many hospitality providers depend on “ vague reports and sustainability certificates ,” but a more meaningful approach is required now , said Niko Karstikko , co-founder and CEO of Bob W .
“ We know we ’ re not the greenest accommodation provider , but we are determined to be the most honest , and we ’ re working really hard to help our guests make informed decisions . That ’ s why when they book , guests can see the emissions associated with each night of their stay . For example , one night in an ‘ Epic Studio ’ in Tartu , Estonia , equates to 28.7kg CO2 , all totally offset by us ,” Karstikko said .
“ This is not a stunt . This is a race we all have to win , and we are totally open to hearing what other providers think the industry ’ s standardized sustainability metric should be . In fact , that would be the perfect start .”
Bob W is a techdriven , app-based hospitality company , but its rooms are still high on taste and design .
