What is a sustainable hotel concept?

All of the hotel concepts we create at MAp are sustainable hotel concepts. That means we put sustainability at the heart of the hotel concept and weave it into all of the elements of the hotel concept, using our very own framework for sustainability, titled the 4 Ps of Sustainability (Purpose, People, Planet, Profit).

Thus, sustainability becomes a central piece for your hotel brand, your products and services, and your sales and communication.

What's the definition of sustainability?

While you probably know a decent amount about sustainability, it's okay if you don't know exactly how to define it. The most-used definition of sustainability dates back to 1987 when the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) published the "Our Common Future" report, better known nowadays as the "Brundtland Report."

In this report, sustainable development is defined as: Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

What is a sustainable hotel?

A sustainable hotel is a hotel that strives to promote sustainable development through its business practices.

While many use it interchangeably with the term “green hotel,” a sustainable hotel takes on a more holistic approach to sustainability – addressing its three core pillars: social sustainability (People), environmental sustainability (Planet) and economic sustainability (Profit).

How can you help my hotel to become more sustainable?

At MAp, we’ve created a framework for sustainability, titled the 4 Ps of Sustainability (Purpose, People, Planet, Profit).

To make your hotel more sustainable, we’ll work through each P of the framework to understand what you’re already doing, and then recommend action steps to be taken in order to achieve sustainability in that area. We’ll direct you to the right partners who can put those actions to work and track your progress and success along the way.

Why do hotels need to be sustainable?

Not only is sustainability good for People and Planet, it’s good for business too!

Here are some benefits to having a sustainable hotel:

  • Gain customer appeal
  • Generate customer loyalty
  • Save costs and realise efficiencies
  • Better navigate turbulent times
  • Attract investment
  • Inspire and benefit stakeholders
  • Create a better future
What are the 4 types of sustainability?

People - Social Sustainability: The impact your hotel has on People, including your guests, employees, partners and local community members. At the cornerstone of social sustainability is protecting human rights, addressing issues that affect your People, and uplifting and empowering them.

Planet - Environmental Sustainability: The impact your hotel has on the Planet, ensuring that you protect the world's ecosystems and conserve natural resources for the health and wellbeing of all - now and in the future.

Profit - Economic Sustainability: The impact your hotel has on economic growth, without negatively impacting the social and environmental aspects of the community – while driving profitability for your hotel.

Purpose: While it’s not officially one of the pillars of sustainability, Purpose stands at the core of MAp’s sustainability framework. The definition is simple: Purpose is the WHY that drives you to do what you do – and love it!

How can you make a hotel more sustainable?

To make your hotel more sustainable, you simply must recognise the importance of sustainability and be committed to improving your hotel's social, environmental and economic impact.

The most important step is to start! Keep in mind that progress – not perfection – is key, and small actions can make a big impact. And to help you get started on your sustainability journey, have a look at our handbook collection and free resources.
