One of the like-minded businesses they like to work with is Raw Elements USA. “I actually discovered their sunscreen at a hotel in Hawaii, immediately recognizing the 1% for the Planet logo on their packaging,” Dille admits. “They have a great product, which hotel guests are encouraged to try through pool-side dispensers before purchasing.” CH&R has also gone to bulk soap and shampoo dispensers in their showers, a choice made in the name of sustainability. “It saves on the waste of single-use, shampoo and conditioner bottles and soaps,” Dille explains. “We’re always looking at exploring things that are more sustainable and cutting edge. For example, the toilets selected for the High Country Motor Lodge are even better than the traditional low-flows at 1.23 gallons per flush, which is anticipated to save over 4,000 gallons of water per toilet annually. They might be a of attending the Global Summit in 2019,” says Dille. “When Plastic Pollution Coalition, one of our beneficiaries, was selected as the Nonprofit Changemaker of the Year, we were thrilled to be able to offer our congratulations in person.” CH&R makes every effort to partner with other 1% for the Planet members – businesses that are just as eager as they are to make an impact on the health of our shared planet. “We feel it our duty to take a greater responsibility for the cost of environmental impact, and our partnership with 1% for the Planet recognizes this focus,” says Richard Behr, Chief Operating Officer of CH&R. “We are the first hotel management company to do so, and hope that this commitment compels fellow management companies to follow suit.”
