Entegra and hospitality giants launch Hospitality Alliance for Responsible Procurement (HARP)
Entegra, a Sodexo company, has joined forces with Accor, Hilton, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International, Radisson Hotel Group and global hospitality group purchasing organization Avendra to launch the Hospitality Alliance for Responsible Procurement (HARP)—to accelerate positive impact across the hospitality industry, driven by a commitment to provide greater support to its clients on key sustainability goals.
HARP members will enroll their suppliers in a sustainability assessment via the EcoVadis platform, which scores suppliers based on a range of sustainability metrics. The resulting sustainability scorecards and insights, shared by suppliers through the EcoVadis platform, will allow HARP members to better gauge their supply chain's sustainability performance and make choices based on measurable sustainability goals and guidelines.
By aligning all seven companies as peers, Entegra and the other HARP founding members intend to use their collective strength to send a unified message to the supplier community and seek significant changes in the industry to benefit the whole ecosystem. Harmonizing a common sustainability performance assessment methodology will drive positive impact in key areas of responsible procurement: waste management, plastics reduction, energy savings and sustainable sourcing. These commitments are part of Entegra’s award-winning corporate social responsibility program and comprehensive suite of environmentally conscious solutions to support their clients in minimizing their business’ impact on our planet.
