As a team and business deeply passionate about hospitality, we have been considering the challenge of how the industry can be more inclusive and provide life-changing opportunities for individuals across the whole value chain. And, how can we embed hospitality into food systems that are more sustainable for our planet? Whilst overseeing all F&B at COP28, we took the opportunity to investigate this issue with @Alexander Smalls, @Anahita Dhondy, @Conor Spacey, @Paul Newnham, and myself at a round table event hosted by @Jane Witherspoon. The result of our discussion, along with significant further analysis by @Jim Kersey, is our Sustainability and Inclusivity in Hospitality report. This report outlines the significant challenges we need to overcome to create inclusive and sustainable opportunities while also highlighting the clear benefits of attracting and retaining talent in our incredible industry. In response, we have decided to create ‘Human Hospitality,’ a not-for-profit dedicated to: - Providing life-changing opportunities in hospitality to people from all walks of life. - Identifying barriers to and solutions for executing sustainable business development goals for the industry. - Positioning and promoting hospitality as a sustainable career choice and making the industry accessible for all, to enable greater advancement of the UN’s SDGs. The next step for Human Hospitality will be an incredible launch project to enhance our understanding of the subject and refine our recommendations for inclusive and sustainable hospitality... more to follow! #IndustryInsights #SDG #Hospitality #FandB #Sustainability #Inclusivity #COP28 #TGPInternational
