Marriott International is developing an increasingly eco-friendly supply chain.
According to MindClick Global, a company that monitors supply chain sustainability performance, Marriott is ahead of its sustainable sourcing goals for 2013. In 2012, Marriott committed to spend 75% of its 2013 furniture, fixtures and equipment budget with suppliers who are part of the MindClick Hospitality Index for Sustainable Sourcing (HSP Index).
As of mid-June 2013, Marriott had reached 60% of its goal.
“With over 30 participating suppliers representing 20 product categories ranging from bath fixtures to seating, carpets to casegoods, fabrics to mattresses, lighting to mirrors, and more, we are very pleased with the support we’re seeing from of our suppliers,” said Dave Lippert, Marriott’s vice president of architecture & construction procurement.
“Sustainability is of high importance to Marriott and to our guests and our communities, and we can make a significant impact by furnishing and supplying hotels in ways that are better for the guest, and better for the environment,” he added.
MindClick’s HSP Index is used by companies to source from suppliers whose operating practices, products and services are designed to be socially and environmentally responsible.
