Hotel vagabond turns carbon-free with carbon credits

Singapore

HOTEL vagabond, a luxury boutique hotel, has become the first hotel in Singapore to become carbon-free after purchasing carbon credits which offset carbon emissions produced in the process of generating electricity that the hotel uses for the next two years.

The United Nations-certified carbon credits were purchased from electricity retailer iSwitch, whose plan for the hotel also resulted in 20 per cent cost savings compared to the usual tariffs, said its director of marketing communications Valerie Loy.
