RALEIGH, NC, March 26, 2024 – Greenplaces, the all-in-one sustainability platform, has announced a partnership with Pat Croce & Company, a distinguished family-operated company in the hospitality industry, to calculate their carbon footprint and establish sustainability goals.

Greenplaces’ software and services enabled Pat Croce & Company to accurately calculate their carbon footprint, a significant step in their journey towards being more sustainable. Armed with this data, the company has been able to set ambitious goals aimed at reducing its environmental impact through sourcing renewable energy, reducing gas and water consumption, and engaging its supply chain to source more sustainable options.

“We are thrilled to collaborate with Greenplaces,” said Jeff Sorg, CEO of Pat Croce & Company. “They have empowered us to understand the impact hospitality and restaurants have on the climate and actively engage in practices that are not only good for our business, but also contribute positively to our planet.”

Pat Croce & Company is pioneering the way towards a greener future in the hospitality industry. In partnership with Greenplaces, the company invested in renewable energy credits equal to their 2022 electricity consumption.

“We are proud to support Pat Croce & Company in their sustainability journey and driving new standards in the hospitality space for other businesses to follow,” said Alex Lassiter, CEO of Greenplaces.

This collaboration underscores Pat Croce & Company’s commitment to significantly reducing its carbon footprint and integrating sustainable practices into its broad portfolio of hospitality brands. With more visibility into their spend and usage patterns, Pat Croce & Company aims to launch, scale, and share sustainability practices that benefit not only their business but also the planet.
