The Sustainable Hospitality Alliance has announced that a potential merger with GREEN Hospitality (Pangaia Solutions Limited) is on the cards. This move would establish a formal presence for the Alliance in Asia-Pacific.
The aim of the merger would be to accelerate sustainable hospitality in Asia-Pacific through the combination of the Hong Kong-based organisation’s reach and experience in the region and the Alliance’s expertise and global network.
Positive meetings have taken place between the Directors of both organisations. Due diligence reviews regarding the potential merger are currently underway, and an update of their status will be provided later this year.
GREEN Hospitality is a non-profit-making organisation that aims to advance research, incubate innovations, and foster activities that enable the industry to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Hospitality Alliance is committed to supporting and enabling sustainability in the hospitality industry, it represents over 50,000 properties and 7 million rooms.
We are excited to be exploring a potential merger with GREEN Hospitality, an organisation we admire and align with in driving joined up action on sustainability in the industry. Being in Hong Kong, a merger with GREEN Hospitality would enable the Alliance to better serve the hotels and organisations in the region, supporting them on the path to net positive hospitality.
Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance
We are delighted to explore this potential merger with a mission-aligned organisation that is the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance. The synergy of the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance’s expertise in creating global partnerships and building movements, and GREEN Hospitality’s on-the-ground knowledge and connection to hospitality practitioners, sustainability experts, civil society organisations, and government agencies in Hong Kong and Asia has great potential to turn the industry into a catalyst for sustainability.
