The World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance (the Alliance) is pleased to announce its partnership with the International Platform for Insetting (IPI), marking a significant step toward enhancing sustainability efforts in the global hospitality industry. This collaboration aims to revolutionise the sector by promoting knowledge sharing, aligning sustainability measurements, and accelerating impactful changes across businesses and communities worldwide.

The Alliance, comprising over 100 members and partners dedicated to addressing key environmental challenges, is poised to lead transformative initiatives through this partnership with IPI. Known for its work on integrating climate action into global value chains, IPI brings its expertise in scalable, nature-based solutions that reduce Scope 3 emissions while delivering positive social and environmental outcomes.

Through this collaboration, the Alliance emphasises its commitment to industry training and its goal of advancing Net Positive Hospitality. By incorporating insetting practices—strategies that promote biodiversity restoration and sustainable practices—hospitality businesses can not only meet ambitious climate goals but also build resilient, regenerative business models that contribute to environmental preservation.

Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance, commented, “IPI’s impressive track record with global brands in advancing Net Positive goals aligns perfectly with our mission. Our collaboration will empower our members with invaluable insights, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing that is essential for creating resilient business models in our industry.”

Adding to the conversation, Jamil Benabdallah, Executive Director of the International Platform for Insetting, said, “Together, we aim to embed insetting into hospitality operations, enabling businesses to reduce their environmental footprint and foster positive social impact throughout their value chains. Our combined efforts will support the hospitality sector in becoming a leader in sustainable and regenerative practices.”

This partnership represents a major step toward harmonising sustainability efforts across the hospitality sector. It also reflects the shared commitment of both organisations to create a responsible, sustainable future for the industry and beyond.
