In our recent survey with hospitality executives, 65% of respondents identified regulatory compliance as the main driver for their organisation’s sustainability strategy. Executives also signalled that assessing their strategy’s impact and turning it into action is more difficult, with two thirds of respondents agreeing that accurately measuring their organisation’s environmental impact and translating their sustainability strategies into action remain challenging. ♻️ 🌳 💧 🌍 Read our survey findings: https://deloi.tt/3Ucqxfw  #DeloitteInsights #HospitalityAdvisory 

Something that hurts to see is the amount of people having a hard time trying to get or renew their sustainability certifications. They tell me they're stressed, they have no idea where to begin, they've sometimes been given the task with hardly any time to prepare. It's the paper work. The audit preparation. And trying to get the team to be on their best behaviour. It's largely stressful and hard. And it doesn't have to be, that's why it hurts so much. You could make it so much easier on your sustainability lead and team if they have a process to follow, so that certifications are a breeze because everything is already in place. Want to know how it's possible? I'm hosting two info sessions this week (Wednesday and Thursday) in the lead up to the next intake of the Sustainability Managers Course.

"In today’s world, the spotlight on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices is brighter than ever. Stakeholders, including investors, consumers, and even corporate employees, are demanding that companies show their commitment to sustainability. However, this increased scrutiny has also exposed the danger of being labeled as having engaged in greenwashing. This is where businesses overstate their environmental credentials whether intentionally or unintentionally in a way that may mislead consumers and investors." Check out J.S. Held LLC latest HL Blog post on avoiding greenwashing and to understand the legal implications of sustainability claims.

Today, it is not enough for companies to focus solely on providing exceptional experiences for guests and team members. It's equally important for businesses to prioritize becoming a responsible business. After all, businesses have a significant impact on people, the environment, and society as a whole. In turn, these factors contribute to the success of a business. At PPHE, the importance of being a responsible business is recognized. We use the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to guide our efforts and set Environmental, Social & Governance targets. Our purpose is to uplift our properties, people, local communities, and supply chain in order to maximize our positive social and environmental impact. Will you work with a responsible business?

Do you know where the term greenwashing comes from? 🤔 ….Hotels! 🏨 🧼 Specifically, a 1986 essay by environmentalist Jay Westerveld. He argued putting pressure on guests to save the planet by reusing towels, when in reality the motivation was to save on energy bills, was less than honest (see point 6 below). I remember sceptically scrunching my nose up at these messages when I was young, and it’s fair to say greenwashing tactics have become more sophisticated since then. Four decades on, one disgruntled hotel guest has transformed into a global maze of consumer protection regulation. 🌍 More change is on the horizon for how companies can communicate their sustainability efforts with customers, with customer expectations shifting too. 💚 So I’m all the more excited to be part of the Co of Good & Co. alongside some other superb sustainability experts who I’m thrilled to connect with. Good & Co. help the #hospitality industry to accelerate #sustainability goals. Together we can ensure everyone has a pleasant stay on planet Earth for generations to come.
