Hilton Hotels has added carbon labels to hotel menus in major cities such as London, Liverpool, and Leeds since May this year to help customers make more positive contributions to the environment when dining. By promoting carbon labels in major hotels, Hilton found that customers recognized low-carbon diets and decided to provide customers with more low-carbon options on its autumn menu. Hilton is working with climate sustainability consultancy Klimato to promote this project, which will label meals on the menu with low, medium and high carbon labels based on the carbon footprint of each dish. Since its implementation in May, the project has found that the popularity of low-carbon meals is on the rise, showing that carbon labels can help customers make informed choices. Based on this discovery, Hilton continues to develop more low-carbon dishes to provide customers with more diverse options. In the autumn menu announced recently, there are already 85% meals with medium and low carbon footprints. In order to improve the carbon footprint of meals, Hilton also tries its best to purchase ingredients in the UK, including using chicken, salmon, crab, beef, mushrooms, tarragon, celery, plant-based meat, etc. that are raised locally and have a lower carbon footprint.
