In 1990, their Canadian hotels pioneered the Green Partnership program-a comprehensive commitment to minimizing their hotels' impact on the planet, which was accompanied by a guidebook on sustainable best practices in the lodging industry. This green philosophy has grown to become a core value of the company. The Fairmont Green Partnership program focuses on improvements in waste management, sustainability, and energy and water conservation at their properties, and innovative community outreach programs involving local groups and partnerships. |
