The ROI of Sustainability: Steve Faulstick |
EarthSayers.tv records Steve Faulstick, General Manager of the DoubleTree Hotel Portland presentation on
the Return on Investment (ROI) of the actions his staff have taken to
reduce energy, recycle and compost as part of their commitment to
sustainability. The Hotel attracts talent because of the way they
recognize and reward employees and in addition to saving money they have
been successful at attracting the traveler, business and personal, that
is seeking a company that understands the benefits of sustainability
principles and practices. Recorded by Ruth Ann Barrett at the EcoTourism and Sustainable Tourism Conference held in Portland, Oregon, September 8-10, 2010 and sponsored by TIES - The International EcoTourism Society. EarthSayer Steve Faulstick |
