Responsible Procurement Program

Hotel guests increasingly choose businesses that align with their values. Responsible procurement, especially for guest-facing products, reflects these values. Larger hotels, with their buying power, can also influence suppliers to adopt sustainable practices, making this a key focus area.

Leveraging our unique understanding of both sustainability demands and the hotel industry. Greenview is equipped to support your hotel portfolio to develop a responsible procurement program from strategy to implementation.

• Industry Benchmarking: By analyzing the industry landscape and ESG risks associated with common hospitality procurement categories, we identify trends and share recommend priority areas in responsible procurement.
• Roadmap Drafting: We align industry trends with your priorities to chart a clear path forward and keep you on track for your goals.
• Implementation Guidelines: For every priority procurement category (e.g. paper, plastic, cage-free eggs), we offer clear guidance on sustainability qualities and pitfalls to look out for when purchasing those items. We also offer training to ensure staff are engaged and well-equipped with the knowledge to procure responsibly.

Demystify the world of responsible procurement with Greenview’s support. To get started, contact us today.
