Sustainability. It's a hot-button issue on everyone's minds these days, from guests demanding eco-friendly practices to hotel owners and brands implementing more aggressive green policies. But how much of an impact are these sustainability efforts really making? That's the pressing question JoAnna Abrams seeks to answer as CEO of MindClick, a third-party rating platform analyzing supply chains to peel back the PR and get real about corporate promises versus actual change.

During a spirited discussion at HotelSpaces '23, Abrams gave us the unvarnished truth on hotel construction and procurement efforts while joined by Mike Everett, President (former) of NuovoRE; Brad Robinette, SVP of Special Projects at Sage Hospitality Group; and Laurie Woliung, Senior Director of Global Design for US & Canada at Marriott.

With insights from across the industry spectrum, the group tackled hard questions about just how far we still need to go to make hospitality truly sustainable amidst the roadblocks of fast growth and profits.

The consensus? We've only scratched the surface, but by working together and holding one another accountable, a greener future may still be within reach.
