As hotels advance toward GSTC standards, procurement becomes more than purchasing, as it becomes governance. The section A1 and A2 set expectations for hotels to formalize responsible purchasing processes, ensure compliant suppliers, and maintain traceability. Section D2 further requires measurable, data-driven progress in reducing emissions, plastics, and waste.
Today, GCSTIMES is focusing on helping hotels build a procurement system that meets these requirements and produces audit-ready evidence.
What GSTC Requires Hotels to Demonstrate?
Your procurement system must prove:
- Sustainable materials are being procured
- Suppliers hold sustainability qualifications
- A traceability & monitoring system is in place
What We Can Provide:
- Supplier ESG due diligence pack includes FSC certification, ISO (environmental and carbon-related), EcoVadis scorecards, and Carbon footprint verification.
- Sustainable material fact sheet.
- Annual supply chain carbon reduction data pack. This directly supports GSTC D2 “reducing pollution” and strengthens your sustainability management system under A1.
- Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) per key card batch.
- Annual comparative emission reduction report on low-carbon alternatives.
- Plastic reduction data pack for packaging de-plasticization
Our documentation packs are designed to drop directly into your GSTC evidence files for saving time, reducing complexity, and proving measurable progress.
