Wyndham Worldwide Named Top 100 Greenest Companies
Wyndham Worldwide Corporation has been named one of the 100 greenest companies, according to Newsweek magazine. According to the magazine, the “green” rankings are based on the environmental footprint, policies and practices of America’s 500 largest publicly traded companies. For its use of alternative energy resources, management of environmental issues and compliance with climate change policies, Wyndham Worldwide ranked at number 81 on the list. Wyndham Hotels and Resorts demonstrated its enthusiasm for environmentally friendly operations by developing uniforms made from recycled plastic bottles. According to Perspective Magazine, each uniform requires 66 percent less energy and 90 percent less water to produce than a common uniform. The timeshare operators additionally began a clean air initiative, offering rooms with improved air quality, and are implementing the EarthSmart linen reuse program to save resources and operational costs. “We are honored to be recognized by Newsweek as a national leader in sustainability,” Wyndham Worldwide CEO Stephen Holmes told the news source.
