Sustainability for Hotels
Why SAS®?
A midsized hotel company might expect the following results using SAS:
- In the first six months of tracking, reduce systemwide consumption by 10 percent.
- Identify high-performing units, and establish best practices for reducing usage.
- Forecasting and what-if analysis identifies further reduction opportunities.
- Usage metrics are included in marketing campaigns and in the annual report to stakeholders. For the first time, both guests and stakeholders are able to see real evidence of the company’s sustainability efforts.

How SAS® Is Different
As the leader in business intelligence and predictive analytics, SAS helps you to meet environmental objectives. With SAS you get:
- An integrated platform for business analytics. Only SAS provides performance management initiatives with a consistent, accurate view of information from data to decisions to support.
- A predefined sustainability performance management framework. This framework is based on generally accepted sustainability reporting metrics, including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
- Market-leading analytic capabilities. SAS gives you insight into costs and cost drivers, as well as the financial impacts of green initiatives. Activity-based costing and capacity resource planning models help choose between alternatives, based on the predicted resources required.
- A variety of predictive analytics. SAS helps you plan improvement strategies, avoid threats and measure results. SAS offers forecasting, simulation and correlation analysis for superior environmental impact predictions.
Not only can companies monitor existing programs, but they can also predict the success of future initiatives, forecast impact of planned programs and share the information among all departments.
