In celebration of World Sustainability Day, Regal Hotels launched an ambitious new initiative, ‘Green Meetings’, marking a significant advancement in sustainable event planning. The program, unveiled at a luncheon hosted at the Regal Hongkong Hotel, aims to equip event organisers with the tools to reduce their environmental impact through responsible practices and a comprehensive carbon accounting system.
Powered in collaboration with the Institute of Sustainability and Technology (IST) in Hong Kong, the Green Meetings initiative reflects a commitment to addressing critical environmental and social challenges through advanced technology and education. This package prioritises sustainability across all stages of event planning and includes several key components designed to reduce emissions and promote eco-conscious choices.
Carbon Accounting and Offsetting
Through detailed carbon accounting reports, event organisers gain a clear picture of the emissions generated during their events at Regal properties. Each report provides insights into emissions sources, environmental performance, and actionable steps for reduction, following Regal Hotels’ own carbon accounting methodology.
To take it a step further, the Green Meetings program includes the option for organisers to offset their events’ carbon emissions. Organisers can purchase carbon credits from certified climate action projects, each representing the avoidance of one ton of carbon dioxide. Every participant receives an official carbon credit retirement certificate, demonstrating their commitment to balancing their carbon footprint.
Low-Carbon Catering and Culinary Innovation
Regal Hotels is reimagining MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions) dining experiences with a focus on sustainability. Green Meetings introduces low-carbon catering, utilising plant-based and locally sourced ingredients along with energy-efficient cooking techniques to minimise emissions, offering a conscious alternative to traditional animal-based menus.
Sustainable Venues Across Regal Properties
With a network of over 5,000 guest rooms and 100 versatile meeting spaces spanning Regal Hotels and the Regala Skycity Hotel, the group offers a full spectrum of options for business meetings, luncheons, and large-scale galas. Event hosts not only benefit from Regal Hotels’ commitment to detailed execution but also receive tailored insights into the carbon footprint of each event, helping them make informed decisions toward sustainability.
With Green Meetings, Regal Hotels takes an impactful step toward sustainable hospitality, demonstrating how thoughtful, innovative solutions can align with the growing demand for eco-friendly practices in the event industry.
