Langham Hotel in Pasadena Demonstrates Commitment to Sustainability, Earns EarthCheck Platinum Certification

The Langham Huntington Pasadena Hotel has been awarded the prestigious EarthCheck Certified Platinum status for the 13th consecutive year, underscoring its commitment to environmental sustainability and cultural preservation.

Victoria Kock, the hotel’s sustainability coordinator, emphasized the importance of integrating sustainability into both professional and personal spheres.

“I want to extend my gratitude for assistance throughout the benchmarking, audit, and certification process. Making space for sustainability in our professional and personal lives is difficult, yet essential work,” Kock said.

Stewart Moore, CEO and founder of EarthCheck, highlighted the urgency of climate change mitigation.

“To avoid catastrophic climate change, the world needs to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees centigrade above pre-industrial levels. Today, we are already at 1.1 °C and feeling the effects, meaning that the window for achieving our target and avoiding the most catastrophic impacts of climate change is rapidly closing. The environmental values and cultural assets that attract visitors to destinations such as the Langham need to be protected and responsibly managed,” said Moore.
