A Responsible Choice of Hotels in Chicago
Our downtown Chicago hotel is known for the very highest in customer care and hospitality, and we're extending this proactive approach to best serving the planet itself. We are proud to announce that The Silversmith Hotel & Suites is now a Green Seal™ Certified hotel, expressing our strong commitment to sustainability and eco-responsibility.
Green Seal™ is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to the creation of a more sustainable world through the application of modern scientific standards and the self-regulating power of the marketplace. For 20 years, Green Seal™ has certified “green” hotels and other lodging entities based on a strict and ever-adapting set of environment use and protection standards.
These standards include:
- Waste Minimization, Reuse & Recycling
- Energy Efficiency, Conservation & Management
- Management of Water Resources, Fresh & Waste
- Environment-Sensitive Purchasing Policies
- Hazardous Substance Management
The Silversmith is excited to lead the way for other hotels in Chicago by meeting these aggressive standards. According to Green Seal™, the U.S. lodging industry encompasses more than 50,000 properties, each consuming as much product in a single week as 100 families might use in an entire year, so the environmental "footprint" of this industry is undeniably profound.
A certification by Green Seal™ indicates a vast leap forward in best practices and policies towards the better sustainability of our environment, and we're happy to have our luxury Chicago hotel be a part of the effort.
