What clients say
Albie MottershawEMEAA Hotel Procurement Services LeadIHG Hotels & Resorts
“Working with the entire Beyond Bamboo team has been amazing. The breadth of their sourcing capabilities along with the deep dive analysis on their suppliers to provide confidence in a sustainable supply chain has been exceptional.”
How ready is your supply chain data for reporting? We review what you buy and who supplies it, what evidence exists and where the gaps are, so you know what you can use and what to fix first.
Five questions
01
Spend and usage analysis
Spend by category, supplier, property and brand; usage per occupied room; price differences between properties; off contract spend.
02
Supplier map
How much spend sits with a few suppliers, single source dependencies, country of manufacture, and traders separated from manufacturers.
03
Product transparency report
Materials, plastic content, recycled versus virgin content, certifications, and how complete the data is for each product.
04
Supply chain risk register
Country and geopolitical risk, concentration, lead times, regulatory and modern slavery exposure, and supplier financial health.
05
Options and priorities
Consolidation, total landed cost and alternative sourcing, ending in a prioritised list of quick wins, medium term moves and longer term shifts.
What you receive
For the general manager or procurement head: what we found and what to do first.
The five answers in detail, with a supplier and product scorecard against our Essential Criteria.
A workbook with the underlying data, so your team can trace every figure back to its source.
Footprint figures are labelled as estimates unless suppliers provide their own data.
Frameworks
The review organises supplier and product data around what each framework asks for, so your team knows what it can use.
Supplier data
Value chain data on climate, workers in the value chain and business conduct.
Evidence for minimum safeguards and do no significant harm checks.
Climate, energy and carbon data for UK sustainability reporting.
Labour audits, ETI alignment and supply chain mapping for annual statements.
Supplier and product
Supplier emissions, targets and engagement for purchased goods.
Supply chain and materials evidence for real estate ESG benchmarks.
Product data
Materials, carbon, traceability and circularity for every product.
Responsible sourcing and materials evidence for new build credits.
Our data helps clients provide the information each framework asks for. It does not, on its own, make a client compliant.
For supply contract tenders such as amenities, linen and consumables. We help you write the questions you send to suppliers, then vet and score everyone who bids.
How we help
A tender that only asks for “biodegradable” gets a label back. We help you ask to which standard, and under what conditions, so suppliers put forward their most sustainable options within scope.
Suppliers who take part are checked against our four pillars and Essential Criteria.
We score every bid against the questions you set. You select the winner.
When to bring us in
Bring us in before the contract renews and the questions in the tender change. Leave it until renewal and you get the same supplier at a new price.
Your values. In every purchase.
A shared framework for hotel groups that want purchasing to reflect their values across every property, with room for local needs and character.
Shared procurement principles and priorities, connecting your group’s values with its expectations for people, materials, suppliers and place.
Practical product criteria, supplier expectations and tender guidance, with priorities for packaging, circularity, traceability and evidence.
Named responsibilities, decision routes, a phased rollout and measures for tracking progress across your properties.
How it works
We work with leadership, procurement and property teams to agree ambition, existing commitments and priority decisions.
We turn the ambition into usable standards, supplier questions and guidance for central and local teams.
We agree ownership, pilot the approach and set a review cycle that supports learning and improvement.
Building or refurbishing? Strategy at project level is The Planet Conscious Blueprint, part of Hospitality development.
Where you buy, what you want to know, and when contracts renew. We’ll come back with where we would start.
