Guest Services is a U.S.-based hospitality management company with a long history of providing food and beverage, lodging, and recreational services to the residents and visitors in the Nation's Capital and other unique locations around the country. As a result, we have many opportunities to positively impact the quality of our environment. To this end, we have dedicated ourselves to being a model of environmental stewardship in our workplaces and surrounding communities.

Guest Services empowers every one of its employees to embrace our efforts to preserve the environment. To support this culture, we have established a Green Team of dedicated men and women who continually seek out best business practices and new technologies, implement new initiatives and report on our annual progress.

The following guidelines serve to direct our energies:

• Comply with all applicable environmental laws and regulations
• Promote environmental awareness among our peers
• Implement the most ecological purchasing standards practicable
• Reduce waste by actively encouraging and engaging in recycling and reuse
• Use energy-efficient and cutting-edge technologies and procedures wherever possible to reduce energy consumption
• Pursue partnerships with other agencies to maximize our compliance with current environmental policies
• Increase our community involvement to further our corporate support of a safer environment

Because new opportunities present themselves with every goal we attain and target we reach, Guest Services holds an annual Green Conference to serve as a forum for examining the year's environmental achievements and shortfalls, for clarifying our objectives and planning the upcoming year’s environmental initiatives.
