The company recently turned on solar panels at its Limetree
Beach Resort by Club Wyndham in St. Thomas, and is finishing
installation at the WorldMark Clear Lake Resort in Nice, Calif.,
this spring. With the two new resorts online, the company will have
an estimated annual solar output of more than nine million kilowatt
hours at 19 properties across the U.S. that are powered by more
than 18,000 solar panels.
As part of its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
strategy, the company is planning to invest in opportunities to
reduce water and energy usage across its portfolio of 245
resorts.
In addition, the company is installing water use reduction and
leak detection technologies in guest suites that cut water use on
average by 15-17%. Resort staff is working to have this equipment
installed in as many as 25% of the Wyndham Destinations managed
resort portfolio by the end of 2022.
In the Environmental Sustainability goals published in its 2021
ESG Report, the company is working to drive the following
goals:
- 20% renewable energy consumption of total electricity at our
managed resorts by 2030
- 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 from a 2010
baseline
- 35% reduction in water withdrawal per square foot by 2025 from
a 2010 baseline
“In partnership with our home owners associations, we’re
investing in environmentally sustainable operations to protect the
beautiful destinations our members enjoy visiting,” said Geoff
Richards, chief operating officer of Wyndham Destinations. “As a
part of our responsible operations, we place a high value on
protecting the environment and communities in which we live and
operate.”
Wyndham Destinations’ vacation club resorts offer a more
comfortable way to travel, with most suites featuring multiple
bedrooms, fully equipped kitchens and relaxed living spaces. Guests
who stay at Wyndham Destinations resorts will experience all the
comforts and amenities of home while living their bucket lists –
and, with 95% of the U.S. population living within 300 miles of
nearly 200 Wyndham Destinations resorts, finding
home-away-from-home accommodations in sought-after destinations is
easier than ever.
