A group of hotel industry leaders launched the Hospitality Sustainable Purchasing Consortium to facilitate sustainability in hotel wood furniture and fixtures.
The group, led by sustainability consulting firm MindClick SGM, aims to develop an industry-wide hospitality sustainable purchasing index to comprehensively measure the sustainability of furniture suppliers and products sold. The group will also work to establish consistent measures of sustainable purchasing performance, and establish performance indicators that enhance the environmental and social impacts of the hotel industry. MindClick SGM and consortium members will work together to improve alignment of its hospitality sustainable purchasing index with industry-accepted sustainability standards like the LEED rating system.
