In closing, I want to thank the participating organizations, which have reaffirmed their commitment to sustainable operations: Brighton Management, Hilton Worldwide, Host Hotels and Resorts, Hyatt Hotels Corporation, InterContinental Hotels Group, Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, Marriott International, Park Hotel Group, Saunders Hotel Group, Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas, Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels, and Wyndham Worldwide. I encourage hoteliers to use applicable data from this study as benchmarks for their own operation, and I welcome additional data from the hotel industry. Hotel companies that wish to join this movement and participate in the 2018 edition of the Cornell Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking Index (CHSB) are welcome to submit 2016 data sets for energy and water use. This year's full report, " Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking Index 2017: Energy, Water, and Carbon ," is available at no charge from the Cornell Center for Hospitality Research.
