Emissions Management Services

Cayuga Members Walker Lunn and Eric Ricaurte, through Washington, DC-based EnviRelation, LLC, offer Emissions Management Services, tracking and quantifying hospitality operation’s greenhouse gas emissions and providing valuable information for measuring environmental impact and performance of environmental initiatives. Integrating the latest trends in greenhouse gas emissions measurement reporting with the language of the hospitality industry, Emissions Management Services tells property owners and operators the net footprint of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Per Occupied Room (GEPOR) and per cover, analyzed with figures such as Occupancy, ADR, and average check. This data is increasingly vital in the world’s discussion of emissions liability, as well as addressing guests’ consciousness of their carbon footprint generated through travel. Monthly reports provide operations-driven greenhouse gas emissions information, and can be in the form of a Simple Report for a single property, a Comparative Report, which also provides various comparisons within the industry, or a Custom Report, which is customized to fit special subscriber needs, such as variances from an emissions budget, established baseline or measurement against another property. EnviRelation also offers Sustainability Reporting services, producing quarterly or annual reports that are both hospitality-specific and conform to international reporting standards. Reports fuse quantitative data from their Emissions Management Reports with qualitative information from ongoing interviews and involvement with operators for a thorough and balanced report. In an effort to ensure long-term success of sustainable hospitality programs, EnviRelation also offers all reporting subscribers access to their Knowledge Center, a forum for their clients to access information on greenhouse gas trends, as well as communicate and collaborate, providing insight as to what successes or challenges they have faced in their sustainability efforts.
