The European Green Deal has set a goal of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 across every sector of the economy. This commitment extends to European hospitality, as well, and the industry is committed to meeting these climate targets. However, many companies – especially SMEs – do not have the knowledge, funding, or time to measure and manage their emissions accurately.
Recognising the unique difficulties that SMEs face in this field, HOTREC has commissioned a study to TOPOSOPHY to analyse how hospitality businesses can concretely achieve carbon neutrality. The study, titled ‘A Roadmap to Net Zero for European Hospitality’, examines challenges, opportunities, and potential tools, and outlines concrete recommendations and examples of practices already developed across Europe.
By embracing this guidance, we hope that hospitality businesses and SMEs can substantially contribute to the global endeavour for a sustainable, Net Zero future.
