Hospitality Alliance for Responsible Procurement

The Hospitality Alliance for Responsible Procurement (HARP) is an EcoVadis-powered sector initiative created by a group of hospitality companies and their key global procurement organizations. Each HARP member is committed to accelerating positive impact across the industry by improving the sustainability performance of hospitality suppliers and strengthening actions to support environmental, human and ethical practices over time.

Synergies in driving improvement with suppliers and third parties
A way to directly engage with industry peers and influential external stakeholders without infringing antitrust regulations.
