Read the Soho House 2023 ESG report 🌏♻️🤝 Our annual environmental, social and governance (ESG) report covers our 2030 social impact and sustainability goals, the progress we’re making towards them and the areas we need to work on. We have continued to make progress in social impact - we’ve now supported more than 2,000 young people into the creative industries through our Soho Futures programmes, Soho Mentorship and Soho Fellowship. We widened our lens on diversity, equity, and inclusion and appointed more Inclusivity Board members to help drive this work around the world – and our independent charity, The Soho House Foundation funded another set of brilliant charities working in our local communities. We also introduced new sustainability measures at our Houses – including towel reuse in our bedrooms (coming to all regions now!), recycled out-of-use bed linens into postcards for members with Paper Foundation, and tracked the work our operations teams are doing to improve energy efficiency, waste and water use in our sites.

And if you’re going through a procurement process, perhaps sustainability should be one of the key decision drivers when selecting your supplier? Watch this space for news of a feature we will be releasing soon, that enables customers to do exactly that when they select their next mobile contract. #ESG #Sustainability #MobileProcurement #Charity

Philanthropy Doesn't Equal Social Sustainability – Here's Why. Philanthropic actions, such as donations to charity or volunteering initiatives, are admirable and can make a significant positive impact on communities, but they don't make a company sustainable. But it’s important to differentiate it from sustainability when it comes to business practices. They are separate initiatives that do not integrate into the everyday business model. 🌍 Why? Because sustainability is about what you do every single day. For sustainability reporting, what truly counts are the practices embedded within a company’s regular business activities—how it sources materials, treats employees, interacts with local communities, and ensures its products and services contribute to long-term societal value. Sustainability is about creating value in a way that is sustainable for both the business and society over the long term. It’s about integrating environmental and social responsibility directly into your business model, rather than treating it as a separate or one-off activity. Philanthropy is admirable for sure, but for a company to truly be sustainable, its positive impact must be rooted in everyday business operations. This is where the real work—and the real opportunity—lies. #Sustainability #CSR #SocialImpact #SustainableBusiness #ValueChain
