The Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, a leading force in promoting sustainable practices within the hospitality industry, has partnered with Hotelschool The Hague, one of the world's premier hospitality management schools. This collaboration aims to foster Net Positive Hospitality for both People and Place by developing knowledge and training initiatives that drive positive local impacts and contribute to sustainable development in the hospitality sector.

This partnership will see both organizations working closely on the Alliance's sustainable People and Planet programs, consulting on activities, and developing entrepreneurship training modules. These modules, designed for deployment in communities local to hotel operations, aim to enhance local impact positively. Offering micro-credentials, these educational initiatives will formalize and recognize the learning and new skills of both students and professionals in the hospitality industry.

The alliance between the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance and Hotelschool The Hague is not new. Their relationship has been demonstrated through the Sustainable Hospitality Challenge, a global competition judged by the Alliance's CEO, Glenn Mandziuk, in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. This partnership represents a deepening of ties, with a focus on achieving significant strides toward sustainability in hospitality.

Founded in 1929 and funded by the hospitality industry, Hotelschool The Hague has established itself as a center where industry partners can gain and share insights, skills, and knowledge. Known for its high-quality education and cutting-edge research in international hospitality management, the school focuses on sustainability and digitalization transformation. It aims to develop students into sought-after graduates ready to lead in the global hospitality industry.

Regine von Stieglitz, President of the Board of Directors of Hotelschool The Hague, and Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, both expressed enthusiasm for this partnership. They emphasized the shared vision of achieving Net Positive Hospitality and the critical role of ambitious initiatives focusing on digitalization and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) aspects related to the hospitality industry.

This collaboration serves as a call to action for the hospitality industry, urging stakeholders to engage in sustainable practices that benefit the planet and its people. By leveraging the strengths of both organizations, the partnership aims to implement transformative change globally, making the hospitality sector more prosperous and responsible.
