In line with the Singapore Green Plan 2030, the roadmap sets out clear targets and strategies for hotels to adopt in their sustainability journey. This in turn enables the industry to contribute to sustainable development goals, capture new opportunities presented by the Green Economy, strengthen enterprise resilience, and tap new visitor segments.
Through the roadmap, STB and SHA envision a hotel industry that:
1. integrates sustainability as a core value across the entire hotel ecosystem,
2. is established as a living lab and uses sustainability to drive business competitiveness and growth, and
3. is recognised as a leader in environmental sustainability in the region.
The roadmap has set out the following two targets for the industry:
· 60% of hotel room stock in Singapore to attain internationally-recognised hotel sustainability certification by 2025.
· For hotels in Singapore to commence tracking of emissions by 2023 and reduce emissions by 2030, with a view to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.
The roadmap also lays out four strategies and related initiatives to help hotels achieve these targets.
