Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, which is all set to open their new hotel in Chennai by June this year, will focus on empowering the local communities in the city through economic development and educational initiatives.Indian Express said this was part of their Corporate Social Responsibility programme.Hyatt is already handling several social programmes across India where they have their hotel operations. With a major focus on environmental sustainability, the hotel chain has been conscious in reducing its carbon footprint. “In Grand Hyatt in Mumbai, close to 3,000 incandescent lights have been replaced with energy efficient lighting to save energy,” Brigitta Witt, Vice President of Corporate Responsibility for Hyatt Hotels and Resorts, was quoted saying in an interview. “Meanwhile, 80-90% of energy supply for the Hyatt in Pune comes from renewable sources. In Goa, our hotel has installed solar panels for external lighting purposes.”Hyatt, according to Brigitta, has resolved to reduce their carbon emission and waste production by 25% and water consumption by 20% by 2015. “In every hotel we have a team of general staff who work on the activities to be undertaken under the corporate responsibility programme. In Chennai too, once the hotel is set and running, our employees will start suggesting the pressing needs of Chennai that we need to address through our programme,” Brigitta was quoted saying. “In June, the opening of Chennai hotel incidentally coincides with the launch of our global volunteer initiative,” Anita Vijay, Manager-Marketing Communications, Hyatt-Chennai, was quoted saying. “During this initiative, we make it a point that all our hotels are engaged in an activity to give back to the local communities not just in terms of money, but also our time and resources in helping them progress.”
