SUSTAINABLE MEETINGS IN THE HEART OF BATH: DoubleTree by Hilton launches Green DDR Package
In a bold move to align corporate events with environmental responsibility, DoubleTree by Hilton Bath has unveiled its innovative Green Day Delegate Package, designed specifically for the modern, eco-conscious business market.
As sustainability becomes a central pillar in corporate strategy, event organisers are increasingly seeking venues that not only deliver exceptional service but also support their environmental, social, and governance( ESG) goals. DoubleTree Bath’ s new offering does just that— blending premium hospitality with measurable sustainability outcomes.
A greener way to meet At the core of the Green DDR Package is Hilton’ s proprietary LightStay Reporting Tool, a cutting-edge platform that calculates the environmental impact of each event. From energy and water consumption to waste management, LightStay provides a detailed, customised report that empowers organisers to track and reduce their event’ s carbon footprint.
Amanda Jones, Director of Sales at DoubleTree by Hilton Bath, said,“ By partnering together, we can help you achieve your sustainability and social impact goals, to help preserve our global community for generations to come.”
This initiative reflects a growing trend in the meetings and events industry, where transparency and accountability are becoming as important as comfort and convenience.
