Sustainable practices are essential to the health and resilience of any business, however in Deloitte’s 2023 European Hospitality Industry Conference industry survey, non-compliance with the growing sustainability agenda and climate change disruptions are only considered high risks in the longer term.

As global attention on environmental issues grows, the hospitality sector needs to drive sustainability efforts and maximise its positive influence on consumers, communities, and the planet. By investing in sustainable solutions now, businesses can gain a competitive advantage, ensuring they are future-proofed against evolving environmental regulations and viewed favorably by discerning guests.
