It might help to know that   owns seven brands, including Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza and InterContinental.

How is IHG going green? With Green Engage, "a new on-line system [that] will help hotel general managers manage energy consumption more effectively."

If fully adopted by all hotels across the 4,000 strong IHG portfolio, it is estimated that the savings for hotel owners could be as much as $200 million.
