The Environment
URBN Hotels is committed to developing and operating green hotels. By renovating an existing structure, focusing on using recycled and locally sourced materials such as reclaimed hardwoods and old Shanghai bricks, and introducing eco-friendly solutions like passive solar shades, and water based AC systems, URBN hopes to set an example for other businesses and industries in China and around the world.?

CHINA’S FIRST CARBON NEUTRAL HOTEL

In May 2007, URBN Hotels entered into an agreement with Emissions Zero, an international intermediary offering bespoke solutions for companies and industries to reduce and offset greenhouse gas emissions. The total amount of energy the hotel consumes, including staff commutes, food and beverage delivery, and the energy used by each guest, will be tracked to calculate the carbon footprint. URBN will then purchase credits to neutralize its footprint by investing in local “green” energy development and emission reduction projects. Hotel guests can also choose to purchase carbon credits from the program to offset their own flights - China is the fastest growing emitter of greenhouse gases, and URBN is committed to setting a new standard for the hospitality and real estate industries by taking green ideas into green action.
