Climate Change Facts and Tips – Accommodation Providers

Images (3)
Understand the risks, opportunities and impacts of the ETS

VECCI’s factsheet gives the lowdown on the impact of the emissions trading scheme (ETS) on small to medium-sized accommodation businesses.

The ETS will increase the cost of energy, waste disposal, and other inputs that are emissions-intensive to produce. This factsheet outlines the areas of key price increases and suggests ways that accommodation providers can reduce costs and adjust to new climate change policies and changing consumer preferences.

Reviews and Comments

This a good 'beginning context' document for those who have only recently turned their attention to climate change and resource efficiency. Context about the ETS, indirect cost increases for food, power and landfill will provide good background on how an accommodation provider's cost base will move and why. If your business has already done many of the 'low hanging fruit' type actions (addressing lighting, waste stream, airconditional and water efficiencies) then the points about marketing angles may be of additional value to your business.
