AHLA's Sustainability Center
July 2, 2025
Sustainability has been a long-term priority for the hotel industry, with many hotels taking action to reduce their impact on the environment and to promote a responsible stay. As hotels work toward forward-thinking goals in reducing environmental harms, building and operating sustainable hotels, and sourcing sustainable goods and materials, AHLA aims to communicate, educate and advocate on behalf of the lodging industries’ various sustainability efforts. With the help of AHLA’s Sustainability Committee, which is comprised of senior subject matter experts from major brands, owners, and management companies, AHLA has targeted four main pillars of focus: energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, and responsible sourcing.
