The Dakota Hotels group have opted in to a Carbon Balancing Printing Scheme in partnership with print and stationary partners Kenway, the company’s primary print supplier.
The latest in the hotel’s sustainability initiatives, carbon balanced printing reduces the carbon impacts of paper and printed communications – such as menus, welcome cards, and bedroom directories – lessening the subsequent carbon footprint and impacts on climate change. Carbon balanced printing calculates the carbon footprint of each job, optimising the process where possible, and offsets the remaining unavoidable emissions.
The World Land Trust – an international conservation charity protecting the world’s most biologically significant and at-risk habitats – will then purchase the equivalent in land, protecting and restoring threatened tropical habitats across the globe.
Between 1st January 2024 and 31st March 2024, Dakota Hotels have offset the equivalent of 675kg of CO2 – enabling World Land Trust to protect 130M2 of habitat across Guatemala, Ecuador, Mexico and Vietnam.
The carbon balancing scheme adds another string to Dakota Hotels’ sustainability bow.
Dakota Eurocentral was presented with a Gold Award by Green Tourism in 2023 – an accolade recognising sustainable achievements of businesses within the tourism industry.
The Dakota group have spearheaded several sustainable initiatives in the last few years, including the installation of solar panels and unveiling of electric charging points across multiple locations.
