Introducing the GBTA Sustainable Procurement Standards for Hotels
Hotel procurement forms a crucial part of managed travel programs, with travel managers often evaluating thousands of hotel RFP (Request for Proposal) responses annually. As sustainability becomes a core objective in many travel programs, having a straightforward approach to assess the sustainability of hotel suppliers is more essential than ever. To meet this need, the GBTA Foundation, in collaboration with the Sustainability Committee, has released the new Sustainable Procurement Standards for Hotels.
As an industry-wide resource, these Standards are designed to simplify hotel procurement decisions, while promoting responsible travel practices:
-
Buyers can leverage these Standards to gain a clear view of current and prospective hotel suppliers’ sustainability practices. By working closely with their ESG teams, buyers can integrate these standardized questions into their procurement and supplier management processes, making informed decisions aligned with their sustainability goals.
- Suppliers can use these Standards to communicate their sustainability initiatives more efficiently to buyers, meeting the growing demand for climate-conscious practices. The standardized set of procurement questions empowers suppliers to better prepare for RFP requests and streamline their responses.
Using the Sustainable Procurement Standards, organizations can better deliver on their sustainability objectives, paving the way for a more resilient future. Download the free Standards today!
