Sertifi Says: Paper Contracts Hinder Hotels 'Green' Efforts, Revenues

You would be hard-pressed today to find a hotel that does not claim to be "Environmentally Friendly" to some extent -- whether they have direct water and energy conservation programs or simply participate in a recycling program, donate to charity, or hire locally. Offering towel and sheet-changing options, soap and shampoo dispensers vs. plastic bottles, guestroom recycling baskets and programs to reduce food-related waste is great. But those hotels that are still relying on paper processes for contract signing – whether it's for group business, supplier transactions or human resources processing, are significantly hindering their sustainability efforts and bottom-line revenues.
