INDIA: The Federation of Hotels and Restaurant Associations of India (FHRAI), the world’s third-largest hospitality association, has joined forces with the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (the Alliance).
FHRAI provides a link between the hospitality industry, political leadership, academics and international associations.
The Alliance will collaborate with the FHRAI, acting as a champion for innovation and climate action in the industry and both organisations plan to work on joint projects and share knowledge, leveraging each other’s tools and programmes to promote best practices within India’s hospitality sector.
Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the Alliance, said: “As the world’s hospitality industry drives towards a more sustainable future, I am delighted to welcome FHRAI to our community. This is a milestone for the Alliance, and will undoubtedly support India’s climate action and bring its vast hotel and restaurant sector towards Net Positive.”
Pradeep Shetty, President of FHRAI said: “We are starting an exciting journey together to reshape the hospitality industry in India. This collaboration demonstrates our strong commitment to reducing our environmental impact while optimising our beneficial influence on the communities we serve”.
We recently reported on the Indian Hotels Company “phasing out” single use plastic and installing more than 224 EV chargers at properties across the country.
