BEYOND BAMBOO HAVE BECOME THE LATEST AFFILIATE MEMBER TO JOIN THE SUSTAINABLE HOSPITALITY ALLIANCE
The Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (the Alliance) is a global charity, which unites engaged hospitality companies and organisations across the value chain, driving collaboration to create a lasting positive impact both on a local and global scale. The organisation’s hospitality company members now represent over 50,000 hotels, equating to over 7 million rooms globally. Joining this network on the journey to a more sustainable future, are a network of affiliate members, including real estate owners, procurement experts, investment funds, legal and consulting firms. The Alliance is delighted to welcome Beyond Bamboo to this influential group.
Focusing not only sustainable, but regenerative practices, the Alliance and Beyond Bamboo share a restorative vision for the future. Supporting companies on the path to ‘beyond sustainability’, Beyond Bamboo specialise in sourcing and advising on business products and services that support the repair and rejuvenation of the planet, making it easier for companies to choose environmentally friendly and ethical options. International research by UNESCO indicates that the hotel industry uses 150 million tons of single-use plastic a year.1 As the only global organisation in the marketplace offering a full portfolio of sustainable and ethical products, Beyond Bamboo aims to dramatically reduce this, already providing alternative compostable or recycled products.
With 2.4 million hotels rooms currently being planned or constructed,2 a holistic approach is more important than ever. This new collaboration will see Beyond Bamboo come together with over 60 other companies across the hospitality sector and the wider value chain, to share expertise and experiences, as the Alliance continue to use this collective power of the industry to tackle the key global challenges affecting the planet and its inhabitants.
The Alliance's affiliate members represent other partners in the hospitality value chain to further drive collaboration on industry sustainability. This includes real estate owners, investment funds, legal and consulting firms.
