FuturePlus helps Nobu Hotel London Portman Square to achieve Travel Sustainable Level 3 rating on Booking.com
Nobu Hotel London Portman Square, part of the renowned Nobu Hotels luxury hotel group, has appointed sustainability management and ESG reporting platform FuturePlus to help it track, measure and improve its sustainability performance.
It is the first hotel to receive a Travel Sustainable Level 3 rating on Booking.com and other travel sites by using the FuturePlus platform to verify its commitment to sustainability.
Located in the heart of central London’s chic Marylebone area, Nobu Hotel London Portman Square features 249 guest rooms and suites, and world class dining options and is notable for its fusion of Japanese-inspired design and impeccable service.
Working with FuturePlus to identify areas for improvement across five key themes (Climate, Environment, Social, Economic, and Diversity and Inclusion), the hotel has made significant steps towards improving its sustainable operations, including working to eliminate singleuse plastics from its rooms, employing water-efficient taps and showers, using 100% renewable electricity throughout the building, reducing food wastage and creating DEI initiatives through the review and enhancement of internal policies.
The FuturePlus platform has also enabled Nobu Hotel London Portman Square to establish the groundwork for further progress, by measuring what the company has achieved so far from a sustainability perspective and putting ambitions, processes and strategies in place for the coming years. It is now beginning to review its supply chain and consider ways to source items, including food and beverage, more sustainably, as well as investigating ways to create a zero-landfill ecosystem within the business. www.future-plus.co.uk
