The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise led its sister properties from across Canada to join Cisco Canada’s initiative, One Million Acts of Green. Since then, The Fairmont Royal York has challenged all Fairmont Green Teams, including The Fairmont Winnipeg, The Fairmont Palliser, The Fairmont Hotel Macdonald and 14 other Fairmont Hotels & Resorts across Canada, to see who could collect the most shoes for recycling during its January Soles 4 Souls shoe drive.
“Fairmont Hotels' employees were amongst the first to register groups on the One Million Acts of Green website - demonstrating the high priority Fairmont places on environmental responsibility,” says Willa Black, Vice President, Corporate Marketing, Cisco Canada. “Since then, Fairmont Hotels have further embraced and extended their commitment to the program and to Canada's environmental sustainability. As one of Canada's leading national brands, they are in a unique position to take the One Million Acts of Green message and challenge to all their Canadian constituents - one act at a time. We commend them for their efforts and their vision for a greener Canada.”
Since 1990, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts’ Canadian hotels have been part of the Green Partnership program, a comprehensive commitment to minimizing Fairmont’s impact on the planet. Accompanied by a guidebook on sustainable best practices in the lodging industry, this green philosophy has grown to become a core value of Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. With Fairmont Green Teams now in 18 hotels across Canada, Fairmont has taken its company challenges and initiatives online through One Million Acts of Green.
