HMSHost has a formal Sustainability Platform:

Vision:
Lead by example and encourage customers, partners, and employees to become more sustainable by just starting somewhere since “Each Act Of Green Builds A Better Future” 

Linda wrapped-up her impressive presentation with the role HMSHost's participation in the NRA ConServe Program and Elemental Impact | Zero Waste Zones | Sustainable Food Court Initiative plays in their over sustainability commitment.  NRA|Ei participation helps HMSHost achieve goals in the following manner:

• Identify additional target organizations & alliances to join, support or participate in; become a collaborative voice to develop realistic solutions.
• Increase depth of HMSHost’s knowledge of sustainability issues, potential solutions and external resources.
• Identify additional best practices (internal and external) and communicate across our system.
