In a bold and visionary move set to reshape the hospitality industry, The World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (the Alliance), in partnership with Beyond Bamboo Global, is proud to announce the launch of the Planet Conscious Amenities Pack. This groundbreaking initiative is not just a step toward sustainability, but a leap toward a carbon-positive, regenerative future for the global hospitality industry.
After more than a year of research and collaboration with Alliance members, the Planet Conscious Amenities Pack is here to challenge the status quo of the hospitality sector by integrating cutting-edge sustainability practices with real, measurable positive impact. This initiative is designed to help the hospitality industry not only reduce its carbon footprint but also actively contribute to the regeneration of natural ecosystems, setting a new benchmark for sustainable procurement in the hotel industry.
In alignment with the Pathway to Net Positive Hospitality framework, the Planet Conscious Amenities Pack is part of the Alliance’s flagship High Ambition Mover Projects. Its goal is to address one of the hospitality industry’s most pressing challenges: Scope 3 emissions. This innovative offering empowers hotels to mitigate environmental impact while achieving cost savings through coordinated procurement across the sector.
A bold step toward regenerative hospitality
The new amenities pack stands out for its planet-conscious design, ensuring that every item is sustainably sourced, circular in nature, and transparent in its environmental credentials. Beyond simply minimising harm, this pack takes a regenerative approach, ensuring that each product gives back more than it takes. It’s not just about reducing emissions, but also about restoring biodiversity, protecting ecosystems, and contributing to the greater good.
Each item in the pack is designed with accessibility in mind, featuring braille on packaging to ensure an inclusive guest experience. More than a procurement solution, this pack represents a shift toward a future where sustainability and guest experience are intertwined, and where every hotel stay contributes to a regenerative world.
Driving impact through collective action
Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the Alliance, expressed his excitement, stating:
“This project is a game-changer for the hospitality industry. By harnessing the collective purchasing power of our members, we are not just offering sustainable amenities but creating a platform for large-scale impact. Together, we are accelerating the hospitality sector’s journey toward a Net Positive future, where each hotel stay contributes to environmental stewardship and a more sustainable world.”
The impact of the Planet Conscious Amenities Pack goes far beyond sustainability in the supply chain. Through the Beyond Credits ESG Social Enterprise Fund, every item purchased through the pack supports a range of local and global projects aimed at creating real, lasting change. These initiatives include:
- Reforestation Projects: Restoring biodiversity and offsetting carbon emissions.
- Clean Water Access: Providing safe drinking water to underserved communities.
- Plastic Waste Reduction: Cleaning up oceans and preventing further pollution.
- Community-Led Sustainability: Supporting ethical trade practices and local businesses.
At the end of each year, participating hotels will receive a detailed impact report, highlighting the collective contributions made towards these projects.
Tiffany Kelly, Co-Founder and CEO of the B Corp-certified business, Beyond Bamboo Global, added:
“This collaboration represents a revolution in the way we approach procurement. The Planet Conscious Amenities Pack is proof that sustainability can be a win-win for people, the planet, and the business. This is a true Net Positive model, where each item does more than reduce harm—it actively contributes to the regeneration of the planet.”
