Caesars Entertainment CodeGreen Sustainability Program
Caesars Entertainment, parent company to Caesar's Palace and other hotels and casinos across the country, has adopted a sustainability program known as "CodeGreen." Some of their biggest impacts are in waste reduction and decreased water usage. Different properties have CodeGreen leaders who help change cultural norms and set goals for increased sustainability. One interesting aspect of the program is having some of the skilled craftsman work with Rebuilding American to have clinics and training sessions to help low-income residents make home improvements that are more sustainable. The company's CodeGreen blog includes interviews with some of the CodeGreen leaders, profiles the activities of the company, and even offers recommendations for individuals to live more sustainably.
