Worldwide: Serviced apartment agent Synergy Global Housing has introduced the CarbonSMART tool to provide emissions reporting for its managed properties and supplier network.
CarbonSMART combines Synergy’s 33-question Green Leaf sustainability assessment with industry benchmark data.
It is integrated with the company’s SAPPHIRE platform which was deigned to help organisations improve booking efficiency and spending oversight. Now, clients can also view carbon data, filter accommodations by metrics and sustainable features, and benchmark progress across programs, regions and properties.
Key features of CarbonSMART include:
• Carbon emissions per property, per night (mtCO2e or tCO2e)
• Sustainability ratings via Green Leaf tiers and CarbonSMART metrics
• Visibility on sustainable efforts at the provider and property level
• Reporting by booking volume, spend, and region
• Supplier benchmarking and performance insight
“As part of our commitment to environmental leadership, we have designed CarbonSMART to deliver nightly benchmark carbon metrics, providing better transparency and encouraging sustainable practices across our portfolio offerings,” said Cara Lingle, vice president of global supply chain and sales at Synergy. “This empowers both individual travellers and program managers to make more informed accommodation choices in response to growing demand for sustainability and visibility.”
Aaron Turner, chief technology officer at Synergy, added: “We built CarbonSMART to bridge the gap between guest choice and supplier transparency. This tool helps our clients track Scope 3 emissions from accommodation usage with far greater precision than anything else in the market today. More importantly, it gives our partners a roadmap to strengthen their sustainability practices.”
Highlights:
• Synergy Global Housing has unveiled CarbonSMART to track and report on carbon emissions.
• CarbonSMART combines Green Leaf assessment with industry benchmarks.
• It is integrated into the SAPPHIRE platform, helping clients to filter and compare accommodations by emissions and sustainability features.
