Sustainability is a buzzword that is often overused and associated narrowly with going green and protecting the environment, but a more holistic approach encompasses a triple bottom line of People, Planet and Profit.
Think about it; ultimately all successful organisations, communities, businesses start with the people, and the stakeholders always involve human resources too. Hence, sustainability needs to begin with the right people who have the correct vision and mission. A sustainable business also needs to be profitable in order to thrive in the long run.Nowhere are these “Ps” more clearly manifested than in the hotel industry, a people-centric business.
Most hotels embrace basic green standards, such as the practice of reusing and changing the towels and bed linen only upon request. On the other end, we have sustainability champions that are worth celebrating.
