As Canada's largest hotel with 1,590 rooms and a business operating in a large community such as Toronto, the Delta Chelsea recognizes and respects its corporate social responsibility ensuring that our quest for sustainable solutions continues to grow and evolve.
Delta Greens is the most ambitious and comprehensive environmental sustainability program
within Canada’s hospitality industry. It touches on every aspect of the hotel business – from guest
services to construction to how we operate and maintain our properties to how we work with our
suppliers and engage with our employees.
“As a business operating in a large community such as Toronto, the Delta Chelsea recognizes and respects its corporate social responsibility making it a stronger place to work and live. As a quality organization, this is a key focus for our hotel and our company. To that end, we will always consider the environment in our decision-making, striving to take action that will positively impact the environment and that will go beyond existing regulations and legislation”, says Ron Pellerine, General Manager, Delta Chelsea Hotel.
Since 2005, the Delta Chelsea has been at the forefront of hotel waste management and through
the ongoing partnership with Green for Life, it has exceeded both industry standards and
municipal targets in landfill diversion. In 2005, the diversion rate was 20% and by the end of 2011, the Delta Chelsea diverted 80% of the waste stream to recycling.
The hotel has invested in a significant number of renovations to reduce water and electricity
consumption including low-flow fixtures, high efficiency boilers, and ozone friendly chillers.

In February 2009, the Delta Chelsea Hotel was recognized with the Hotel Association of
Canada’s Hall of Fame Award for Energy and Environment.
Delta is also committing to sharing its journey towards increased sustainability with the public
– via the “IRIS”, an interactive tracking tool that stands for Integrated Rating Indicator for
Sustainability. Delta’s IRIS will be posted prominently on the company’s website and updated
three times a year in collaboration with Loop Initiatives, the sustainability integration and
measurement consultancy that helped develop Delta Greens.
