[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Lotte Hotel announced on the 14th that it was selected as an outstanding participating company in practicing carbon-neutral living at the ‘2022 Carbon Neutral Living Practice National Conference’ held the previous day.

Last October, Lotte Hotel signed a business agreement with the Ministry of Environment to promote the spread of carbon-neutral living practices and pledged to take the lead in green management. Especially this year, the company was recognized as an outstanding company for declaring a new ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) management vision, reducing carbon emissions, increasing energy efficiency, and further expanding eco-friendly investments and establishing an environmental risk management system.

To achieve carbon neutrality, Lotte Hotel also created the ‘Green Travelers Guide.’ The guide, composed of three categories?▲One Step for Carbon Reduction ▲One Step to Reduce Disposable Products ▲One Step for Energy Saving?laid the foundation for hotel services where ‘staying is eco-friendly.’

Following the guide, in June last year, L7 Hotel and Lotte City Hotel replaced room amenities from disposable products to reusable dispensers for the first time, and this year, reusable dispensers were introduced to the remaining 17 domestic hotels. The skincare brand ‘Grown Alchemist,’ which manufactures only 100% plant-based products certified organic, was also adopted as the new amenity for the 5-star Lotte Hotel.

An ESG official from Lotte Hotel said, “Lotte Hotel is actively strengthening ESG responsible management to enhance corporate value,” adding, “Through sustainable management activities, we will take the lead in the eco-friendly paradigm shift and accelerate the realization of the 2040 carbon neutrality roadmap.”
