​
JR East Hotels Press release: March 19, 2025 [Hotel Metropolitan Edmont] 40th Anniversary Accommodation Plan “CO2 Zero Stay” mottECO, “CO2 Zero MICE” plan, next to Rusk, an accommodation plan is born to realize a “sustainable society” Hotel Metropolitan Edmont (Location: Iidabashi, Chiyoda-ku, General Manager: Hideaki Matsuda) has so far implemented “mottECO,” a banquet plan “CO2 Zero MICE,” and “Rusk,” which upcycles unserved bread, as part of its food waste prevention efforts. As a promotional measure to commemorate our 40th anniversary, we will carbon offset (*) the equivalent amount of CO2 emissions generated during your stay in this accommodation plan, which will go on sale from today, March 19th, contributing to our environmental efforts and the reduction of CO2 emissions. *Carbon offset is the concept of first making efforts to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases such as CO2 that cannot be avoided in daily life and economic activities, and then compensating for the greenhouse gases that are inevitably emitted by investing in greenhouse gas reduction activities commensurate with the amount of emissions. *From the Ministry of the Environment website

Contains 94% plant-based ingredients to reduce plastic content as much as possible. Because it is plant-based, there is no plastic odor, and you can enjoy it deliciously without affecting the flavor of your drink. *Cold-resistant/heat-resistant temperature -20°C to 140°C. Can be used in the microwave and household dishwasher. Manufacturer: Sanyoshi Lacquerware Co., Ltd. (Aizuwakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture) Hotel Metropolitan Edmont’s environmental initiatives to date ■ Promoting “mottECO”, a take-out of leftover food Nippon Hotel Co., Ltd., including Hotel Metropolitan Edmont, has been implementing “mottECO” at nine hotels since April 1, 2022, as an initiative to reduce food loss. If a guest who uses the hotel’s restaurant or banquet hall cannot finish their food, we will provide them with a container made of certified environmentally friendly paper if they wish. By having customers take their own food home at their own risk, we are working to reduce food loss and garbage, and we are also working to spread and educate the public about the culture of taking leftovers home with them. In May 2023, Nippon Hotel Co., Ltd., along with Seven & The project that was selected was the “MottECO Introduction and Popularization Promotion Project through Local Government and Business Cooperation.” In response to the social issue of “reducing food loss and food waste,” multiple businesses and local governments work together across the boundaries of competition to form a consortium for the purpose of disseminating MOTTECO, and aim to solve the problem through the expansion of MOTTECO. In addition, we held an event called “mottECO FESTA” in 2023 and 2024 aimed at reducing food loss, which served as a major opportunity to promote the spread of mottECO. ■CO2 Zero MICE We will replace the electricity used at events and conferences held at Hotel Metropolitan Edmont with renewable energy. You can hold your event with virtually zero CO2 emissions. This is available by adding it as an option to the regular banquet fee. ≪Advantages of using the plan≫ 1. Issuance of “Green Power Certificate” The Green Power Certificate System is a system certified by the Japan Quality Assurance Organization, and even if you do not have your own power generation equipment, you can prove that you have contributed to the spread of renewable energy by purchasing a certificate. It can also be used to inform internal and external parties as an activity report. 2. Can be announced as a “Zero CO2” event 3. Improving corporate evaluation through initiatives for SDGs and ISO14001 4. Contributing to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s total emissions reduction obligation ≪Usage fee≫ The cost of purchasing a “Green Power Certificate” using a package developed by JTB Communication Design Co., Ltd. that calculates the environmental value of renewable energy used at an event venue and includes renewable energy procurement and post-verification.

We sell it in a variety of flavors, including garlic flavor, cinnamon flavor, basil cheese flavor, and chocolate flavor. Rusk, which is a sustainable initiative when purchased, is one of Patisserie Edmont’s popular products. We will continue to strive to prevent food loss.
