Following the Green Brick Road

In 2021, the SMHCC Green Procurement Webinar was entitled, “Following the Green Brick Road.” The webinar revolved around discussions relating to solutions in efficiently using our resources and managing waste, ultimately reducing our carbon footprint.

Our esteemed roster of speakers prepared relevant presentations expounding upon their creative ideas and best practices on how to achieve our sustainability goals as partners and as a community.

SMHCC continues to make strides in this field. With this webinar, we were able to further solidify the foundation upon which our efforts and projects are built on, thus bringing us closer to implementing the gold standard in sustainability practices for the coming years.

On top of the best practices we have continuously performed, additional proactive and precautionary actions crucial to the safety and security of each guest and staff have been implemented. These points, along with prospective innovations and applications in operations, encompass and comprise the goals of the SustainablySafe initiative, the ultimate goal of which is to provide guests with the utmost safety and quality of experience.

  • Guestrooms are thoroughly disinfected and sanitized before each guest occupancy using clinical grade disinfectant and UV sterilizing equipment;
