Sustainability Initiatives
Protecting the future of Lake Shinji together with every guest.
A new standard of travel, realized through CO₂ Zero Stay and CO₂ Zero MICE.
To protect the beautiful natural environment of Matsue, Shimane, and pass it on to future generations, Hotel Ichibata has introduced a carbon offset system that effectively reduces CO₂ emissions associated with stays and events to net zero.
For Guest
Travel with care for the planet.
－Simply choose an eligible plan when making your reservation, and the CO₂ emissions from your stay will be offset.
－An “Offset Stay Certificate” will be issued as proof of your environmental contribution.
－While enjoying the breathtaking views of Lake Shinji, you can also experience the value of making a meaningful contribution to the environment.
For Corporate
Accelerate your company’s ESG initiatives from Matsue.
－Business trips, training programs, and MICE use can directly contribute to reductions in Scope 3 emissions, including supply chain-related emissions.
－A Green Power Certificate for MICE can be issued to officially certify the environmental value of your initiative.
－For group stays of 30 guest-nights or more, a Credit Cancellation Notice can also be issued.
－This helps position your event as an advanced, environmentally conscious initiative and contributes to enhancing your corporate value.
Carbon Offset System
A simple and reliable system
Making travel and business more environmentally responsible
How Carbon Offsetting Works
The amount of CO₂ emitted from the energy used during guests’ stays and meetings, such as electricity and gas, is calculated.
By purchasing an equivalent amount of carbon credits, such as J-Credits, these emissions are effectively reduced to net zero through offsetting.
“We want guests 100 years from now to experience this same view.”
As a leader in sustainable tourism, Hotel Ichibata will continue moving forward together with our guests.
