London, 3rd December 2025 – The World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (the Alliance) today announces that Valpas, the company creating the new global standard for safe and sustainable hotel stays, has joined its network of leading hospitality organisations. Through this collaboration, Valpas joins a network of industry leaders committed to accelerating positive change across the global hospitality sector.
As awareness grows around bed bug risks and pesticide safety, Valpas sets a new category in hospitality standards and sustainability: Certified bed bug-safe, pesticide-free stays. The company certifies and guarantees a safe, non-toxic stay for every guest thanks to their seamless in-room technology, providing a digital proof of safety for every stay. With more than 300 certified hotels in over 70 destinations, Valpas enables travellers to sleep soundly, free from both bed bugs and harmful chemicals, while supporting hotels in protecting biodiversity and guest wellbeing.
By joining the Alliance, Valpas strengthens its role as a thought-leader shaping what sustainability in hospitality means in practice. The company’s mission aligns with the Alliance’s vision of an industry that gives back more than it takes; from people and communities to the planet itself.
“We are delighted to welcome Valpas to the Alliance. Their innovative approach to creating safe, pesticide-free stays brings a powerful new dimension to hospitality sustainability. By tackling an often overlooked issue in guest wellbeing and environmental health, Valpas exemplifies how technology and purpose can combine to create lasting positive impact for both people and the planet.”, said Glenn Mandziuk, President & CEO of the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance.
“We are delighted to join the Alliance. The hotel leaders in this community are already redefining what modern hospitality stands for by moving beyond outdated assumptions and taking action where others still hesitate. By choosing Valpas, the Alliance and its members send a clear signal about the present and future of 5-star hospitality: a standard that no longer plays with avoidable risks, makes no toxic compromises, and extends guest care beyond the stay itself by ensuring they take nothing unwanted home. This is leadership — now visible through a recognisable certification present in hotels and OTAs.”, said Martim Gois, Co-founder & CEO.
