Loews Hotels & Co celebrates Earth Week
April is Earth Month, a time to raise environmental awareness and create consciousness around the issues that affect our planet. This year at Loews Hotels & Co our hotels and resorts have aligned with the global theme: Invest in our Planet. Our hotel teams are participating in Earth Week events and initiatives taking place April 17 – 23. During this week, Loews Hotels & Co locations are coming together to show our dedication as a company of our time, resources, and energy to help fight climate change and other environmental issues. Investing in our planet is necessary to protect it and the best way to pave a path toward a prosperous future. When we Invest In Our Planet together, we are supporting communities worldwide.
