Hotel Industry Unites to Cut Food Emissions by 30% by 2030
The World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (WSHA) and Vegan Hospitality have joined forces to tackle the hotel industry's significant food-related emissions. This partnership aims to reduce emissions by 30% by the end of the decade, with major hotel chains like Accor, Hilton, and Marriott International on board.
The hotel industry, if considered a country, would rank among the top 25% of biggest polluters due to food-related emissions. To combat this, WSHA has recommended a 30% reduction in emissions by 2030. Vegan Hospitality, a plant-based dining solutions provider, will support this goal by offering educational resources and live trainings to WSHA's network.
Vegan Hospitality will encourage hotels to adopt plant-based milks as their default option and use culturally appropriate plant proteins. IHG Hotels & Resorts has already committed to making 30% of its menus in the Philippines plant-based. Accor has pledged to turn half its menu meatless globally by 2030. Reducing high-emission foods like beef and dairy can significantly lower a hotel's food-related emissions, contributing to this goal.
The partnership between WSHA and Vegan Hospitality seeks a lasting impact, with the end goal being a 30% reduction in emissions and beyond. By encouraging plant-based dining solutions, the hospitality industry can play a significant role in combating climate change.
