Abstract :
Green hotel practices are one of the
environmentally friendly initiatives that aim to reduce the
negative impact on the environment by saving energy (for
example, by installing energy-efficient appliances and
renewable energy programs), reducing water consumption
(for example, by installing water-efficient devices and
equipment and implementing a linen and towel reuse
program), and managing and reducing waste (e.g., by
implementing recycling programs and using durable items
rather than disposable ones) (Abdou et al., 2020). In the
Philippines, the House of Representatives approved House
Bill 9061 on second reading. The bill, which was primarily
written by the former president and current speaker
Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, aims to encourage all business
organizations—domestic and foreign—established and
operating under Philippine laws to uphold corporate social
responsibility in the conduct of their operations in the
nation. (House of Representatives Press Releases, 2022).
Hence, the purpose of this research is to know the different
green practices of the different hotels in Albay in relation
to social responsibility. The study uses a mixed method
research design to identify the profile, green practices and
challenges encountered by the hotels, while Pearson of
Correlation was also used in order to analyze whether
there is a significant relationship between the hotel profile
and its practices. The analyzed data revealed that The
different green practices in terms of: community
involvement and development, human resource
management, consumer issues protection, fair operating
practices, an organizational governance got the same
adjectival interpretation of well-practiced. On the other
hand, only the variable environmental health and pollution
prevention got the adjectival interpretation of practiced.
Furthermore, Regarding the number of rooms and the
hotel's green practices, the null hypothesis is accepted;
therefore, there is no significant relationship. For the
number of employees, only the variable environmental
health and pollution prevention got a computed t of 2.06
with tabulated t at 5%, which indicates that the null
hypothesis is rejected and there is a significant
relationship. Lastly, for the years of operation, two of the
variables got a rejected null hypothesis and have a
significant relationship between the profile and the green
practices: human resource management and
environmental health and pollution prevention
