Caelus Releases the CurrentState™ Hospitality Sustainability Audit

(3BL Media) Tulsa, OK – September 7, 2012 – Did you know that the US Travel Data Center estimates that 43 million US travelers are “ecologically concerned” and nearly one third are willing to pay a premium for green travel?  Caelus can help.  Caelus has released the CurrentState™ Hospitality sustainability audit.  CurrentState™ Hospitality has been designed specifically for hotels, inns, bed and breakfasts and spas.

CurrentState™ Hospitality sustainability audit helps establishments quickly improve their Sustainability Performance.  Whether an establishment has sustainability initiatives in place or if they are just beginning the greening process, CurrentState™ Hospitality is the perfect tool to compliment their efforts.  The audit was designed specifically for the unique sustainability needs of the hospitality industry such as Guest Services, Food and Catering, Compliance, Facilities and many others are covered in detail.  It provides all the information an establishment needs to begin improving sustainability performance, lower operating costs, improve compliance, have more satisfied guests and unleash innovation.

CurrentState™ Hospitality is a 'best practices gap analysis' and a 'business practices maturity analysis' combined into one powerful tool. It compares an establishments current policies, procedures and practices against hundreds of industry best practices. An organization will immediately know exactly what it needs to do to be an industry leader in sustainability. It is based on Caelus' Three Tiers of Sustainability™ framework.  This framework is unique in the industry and organizes sustainability into three primary categories: Green IT, Facilities and Business. These three categories are further divided into over 20 specific sustainability sub-categories. If an activity is related to sustainability in the hospitality industry, it will have a place in the framework.
