SUSTAINABILITY AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

If you are part of a Sustainability Strategy Team or Supply Change Management Team within a hotel that knows it needs to make ethical and environmentally friendly changes to their products and services, we know that you're dealing with many challenges. Managing supply chains, ensuring accuracy, data requirements, and adhering to global regulations and compliance is a complex role to fulfil and so gaining expert help from a procurement agency that specialises in staying up-to-date with the technical advances in sustainability and is able to support your team in adapting to changing customer and regulatory demands, can be a game changer.

Maintaining quality standards is crucial for your brand to provide an exceptional guest experience. Also, ensuring the authenticity and quality of operating supplies and equipment (OS&E) can be time consuming and difficult for you to source genuine and high - quality items, especially when looking to establish a new product or service. Choosing the most sustainable products and services available to offer your guests presents a huge opportunity (to set new standards and lead the way), whilst helping your customers to understand the importance of choosing wisely themselves for their self care products, foods and amenities.

“Companies that don't adapt will go bankrupt without question” - Mark Carney, UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance.

We understand the need for products to be luxurious and that making changes to your supply chain may present problems and implications for procurement of OS&E. High import duties, fluctuating exchange rates, and limited availability of certain products can significantly affect the cost of procurement. Moreover, striving to maintain a balance between cost-effectiveness and maintaining your brand image.
