How can hotels systematically align their supplier relationships with sustainability?

  1. Supplier Code of Conduct: Set minimum environmental, social, and ethical standards.
  2. Onboarding criterion: Make sustainability mandatory, require FSC, GOTS, ISO 14001 certificates.
  3. Integrate into contracts: Include criteria and audit rights in supply contracts.
  4. Digital monitoring: Use platforms like EcoVadis or Sedex to track certificates, flag risks, and work on improvements collaboratively.
