Peter Andrews is announced today as the Director of Programmes & Chief of Staff at the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (the Alliance), bringing a wealth of expertise in sustainability, consumer insights, and ethical trade – further strengthening the Alliance’s commitment to driving sustainable transformation across the global hospitality sector.
Peter’s tenure as Director of Consumer Rights, Innovation & Impact at Consumers International, saw him lead initiatives on sustainable consumption, energy transition, and the future of food, effectively amplifying the consumer voice and driving systems change to address global challenges. Prior to his time at Consumers International, Andrews served as Head of Sustainability Policy at the British Retail Consortium. Among his achievements, he spearheaded the creation of the industry’s first Climate Action Roadmap, which set an ambitious target of Net Zero emissions by 2040 and influenced the development of the UN’s Race to Zero: Breakthroughs Retail Campaign.

He is a Trustee of the charity Focus on Labour Exploitation and has co-chaired the UK Government Home Office’s Modern Slavery Strategy and Implementation Group on Transparency in Supply Chains, championing corporate accountability and ethical practices.
Peter’s new role will see him leading the development and implementation of the Alliance’s programmes – such as the Net Positive Pathway, High Ambition Movers and Accelerators – towards achieving Net Positive Hospitality, as well as strategic planning with the CEO.
