Resumo(s)

Small hospitality companies’ transition to sustainability has been little studied. This qualitative and quantitative analysis of a short-let start-up explores the question: How can the short-let industry become more sustainable? What is the environmental (CO2) and financial impact of replacing small plastic amenities, cleaning products and conventional energy with greener alternatives? It concludes that if it overcomes barriers typical of smaller companies’ focus on profitability and finds a business model that monetises the impact of embarking on the sustainability trend, cost reductions due to adopting environment-friendly products can lead to an enhanced financial performance and to clear environmental benefits.
