The Refinishing Touch Blog

It is crystal clear our world today is focused on one common movement- the need to think and be green. From CEOs, business managers, to chief sustainability officers, everyone has green in their sight.

However, being green is not just about recycling. It's a collection of best practices to run sustainable businesses and create eco-friendly practices that also drive and support the business.

Environmental consciousness is, now more than ever, at the forefront of better business practices within the hospitality industry. For example, a recent story in Hotel Interactive recognizes the Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs and its move to greener practices to serve its guests with an eco-friendly way to conduct business.

Whether you are an independent resort or an international brand, green initiatives such as these are paramount. This includes steps such as using energy efficient lighting, using 100% recycled paper products, and encouraging guests to save energy whether it's lights, electricity or laundry. These all contribute to the green goal and reduced carbon footprints.

The Cheyenne Mountain Resort recently became a member of the "Green" Hotels Association, an organization committed to promoting eco-consciousness throughout the hospitality industry. It's great to see momentum within the hospitality industry to the green movement. The commitment to change former best practices to green best practices will help the bottom line of the property and benefit the environment.

At The Refinishing Touch we not only support this movement, but have based our business practices on green since Day One. We are proud to have been innovators to a green and business-friendly solution for over 30 years, and look forward to what the next 30 years bring.
