Supplies & Procurement
The supplies used on a daily basis by your business contribute to the health and wellbeing of your patrons and staff. Every purchase is a choice, and over time can have a substantial impact on the environment as well as your business operations. Every choice you make matters! The products and services your business supports can help shift the market towards the regenerative future we need to see.

Blue Action: Source non-toxic cleaning products for janitorial services.
This includes disinfectants, surface cleaners, dish soap, hand soap, and beyond.
Blue Action: Develop a sustainable purchasing policy and/or work with third party suppliers and vendors to achieve sustainability goals.
Create a hotel-wide requirement to purchase from sustainable suppliers wherever possible. This can include sourcing locally from nearby vendors, and sourcing from vendors that minimize their environmental impact, such as reducing waste, using renewable materials, and minimizing carbon footprints throughout their supply chain. This plan should also include training and integration into orientation materials, so all employees and new hires are made aware of this policy.
