The Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, which brings together 14 of the world’s leading hotel companies, has launched with the renewed vision of responsible hospitality for a better world. The organization will be taking forward the work of the International Tourism Partnership, its global youth employment program, Youth Career Initiative, and sustainability communications platform, Green Hotelier.
The Sustainable Hospitality Alliance uniquely represents how the hospitality industry is taking collective responsibility to ensure that destinations and communities are being supported and protected now and for future generations.
The organisation was first formed in 1992 by a consortium of chief executives from 10 global hotel companies as a result of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development. First known as International Hotels Environment Initiative (IHEI), a programme of International Business Leaders Forum (IBLF), for the past seven years it has been part of Business in the Community (BITC), the Prince’s Responsible Business Network. After developing strong partnerships and impactful programmes around the world, it now launches as an independent charity.
Sustainable Hospitality Alliance members make up 25% of the global hotel industry by rooms, including Marriott International, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, and Radisson. The Alliance works with senior executives from their members, and other partners, to assess the key social and environmental challenges and prioritize their activities and programs where they can collectively deliver the most positive impact.
