I’ve been thinking a lot about how we can incorporate more sustainable sourcing practices in our procurement strategies for the hotel and restaurant sectors. With the rise of eco-conscious travelers, it seems crucial to not only meet their expectations but also to reduce our environmental footprint. Has anyone here had success with specific suppliers or products that align with sustainable principles? I’d love to hear about your experiences.
I’ve been trying to work with local farmers for our restaurant’s produce, which really does help reduce our environmental footprint… , it’s frustrating how hard it can be to find reliable suppliers who can consistently meet our needs — but when we do connect with a good one, it’s totally worth it. Maybe check out @LocalHarvest for a starting point?
I’ve had good luck sourcing eco-friendly cleaning supplies from a local co-op, which definitely aligns with reducing our footprint. @otorre41, it’s amazing how those small changes can really make a difference — kind of like using a reusable shopping bag instead of a thousand plastic ones.
One thing that’s really worked for me is partnering with local artisans for unique, sustainable products — like handmade tableware. It’s great for showing off local talent while minimizing waste. Have you considered anything like that, @sandra_lee22?
