Kingdom of Bahrain, May 26, 2009: Crowne Plaza Bahrain and Recycling for Charity have launched a unique joint recycling initiative that will be implemented at the Hotel from June 2009 onwards. The initiative, part of the hotel’s ongoing commitment and responsibility to the environment, will position Crowne Plaza as the first hotel in Bahrain to actively engage in recycling initiatives and manage energy consumption more effectively.

The effort has been launched to coincide with World Environment Day which will be celebrated on June 5, 2009.

“We are proud to set a benchmark in Bahrain’s hospitality industry by engaging in effective measures to reduce our environmental impact. We already have an ongoing ‘Green Engage’ programme followed by many properties in  IHG to help improve environmental performance, reduce costs and respond to our guests increasing awareness of this issue,” said Mr. Ivor E Prestwood, General Manager, Crowne Plaza.
