Bethanne Edwards has been appointed as Director of Sustainability at Innisfree Hotels
Innisfree Hotels (innisfreehotels.com) is pleased to announce that environmental expert Bethanne Edwards has joined the company in a new role as Director of Sustainability.
Edwards says her initial attention will go toward reducing the company's carbon footprint — including efficient energy and water use and minimizing waste — as well as engaging employees, guests, and local communities through environmental awareness initiatives. Innisfree Hotel's portfolio of beach and seaside properties is part of what attracted Edwards to the company.
Edwards earned a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science from Texas Christian University. She worked in environmental roles for major companies before starting an independent environmental consulting business of her own in 2016. Based in Pensacola, she volunteers with local community group 850eco, the Pensacola and Perdido Bay Estuary Program, and Earth Day Pensacola.
