How can hotels deal with high minimum order quantities (MOQs) and long delivery times for sustainable products?

  • Consolidate orders: Use Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) to pool demand.
  • Standardize assortments: Fewer variants, larger central orders.
  • Plan logistics: Prefer sea freight (90% less CO₂ than air freight), plan for longer lead times.
  • Long-term contracts: Give suppliers planning security, secure stable prices for hotels.
