Challenge

Propose new CSR measurement indicators for hospitality back-office operations

image

How can the hospitality sector implement new internal indicators to effectively measure and improve their CSR practices, focusing on back-office operations?

About the challenge

MKG Consulting challenges you to a contest centred on CSR in the hospitality sector. Your mission? To define new standard indicators that hotels can implement to measure CSR effectiveness within their internal teams and back-office operations, steering clear of customer-facing elements.

Your mission is to develop innovative, actionable indicators that can be integrated into the everyday operations of hotel establishments. These indicators should facilitate the measurement and enhancement of their CSR efforts, particularly in areas like ecological impact and sustainable practices.

Consider the potential of training new staff in best practices for sustainability, practical implementations like the introduction of waste segregation systems and strategies to measure and minimize waste volumes.

 

We are looking for creative, feasible solutions that can make a real difference in how hotels operate internally. Your ideas should not only improve the ecological footprint of these establishments but also contribute to a culture of environmental responsibility and social awareness.

This challenge is for you an opportunity to influence the future of hospitality management!
