A constant dialogue of IHG and hotel owners, who operate and finance hotels, finally drive the business into sustainable change. And with the huge passion of guests and colleagues about how the hotel industry behaves towards the planet and communities, the sustainable changes make engagement, collaboration, and partnership key to getting things done. For example, when it comes to minimizing IHG’s waste footprint, IHG’s teams consider each stage of the hotel lifecycle to find solutions that can be amplified and rolled out at scale. They do this in a way that supports the hotel’s operational needs while enhancing the guest experience.
Today’s technology plays an important role in making such changes because it enables IHG to identify suppliers and partners that have developed innovative solutions to find new ways to embed sustainability into their products, and in turn create solutions that help us reduce hotel’s environmental footprint, drive a more circular approach and produce an even better experience for their guests. One great supplier relationship that illustrates this at IHG is with The Fine Bedding Company, which is working with IHG to help minimize the global plastic waste footprint through our growing voco hotels brand.
