Our Partnership with the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance
In this new partnership with the Alliance, Sustainability Kiosk will lead efforts to develop a regional strategy for the Middle East aligned with global sustainability standards and the Sustainable Development Goals, build partnerships with hospitality operators, governments, academia, NGOs and other stakeholders to accelerate adoption of green technologies, circular practices, and inclusive growth, facilitate learning and capacity-building through workshops, conferences, certification and training programs tailored to the region and establish local advisory networks to ensure that regional voices inform global policy and programme design.
About the World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance
The World Sustainable Hospitality Alliance is a globally recognised non-profit with a 30-year legacy, dedicated to accelerating the transition to a responsible and regenerative hospitality industry.
Bringing together members across the hospitality sector, the Alliance works to address key global challenges affecting people, planet, and place. Its members represent over 66,000 hotels and 8 million rooms globally, working towards a hospitality sector that gives back to destinations more than it takes. Central to its mission is the Pathway to Net Positive Hospitality framework, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, supported by industry-backed measurement tools that draw on a dataset of over 27,000 hotels to help properties benchmark their energy, water, and carbon emissions.

Engagement Opportunities
THE ACADEMY
The first global training platform built by the hospitality industry, for the hospitality industry. Designed to embed sustainability into the daily actions of every employee, from the front desk to finance and housekeeping to HR, making it practical and relevant to every role.
EMPLOYABILITY PROGRAMME
This programme bridges the gap between a shortage of entry-level hospitality workers and a lack of opportunities for underserved communities. Combining core life skills with hands-on hospitality training, this programme produces job-ready professionals and creating pathways into the industry for those who need it most.
PLANET-CONSCIOUS AMENITIES
A scalable initiative that delivers validated, customisable sustainable guest amenity kits for hospitality businesses. Each product has been carefully and thoughtfully vetted for its planet conscious credentials. Hotels benefit from simplified sustainable procurement, reduced Scope 3 emissions, stronger ESG credentials, and a more meaningful guest experience.
