More responsible procurement, made easier
At Astore, we see procurement as a powerful lever to address today’s social, environmental and ethical challenges - while creating value for hotels and owners. We turn this into practical, scalable solutions across your operations.
As a leader in sustainable procurement for hospitality, we set and enforce clear standards across our supplier network. Our nominated suppliers must comply with strict ethical, environmental, labor and anti-corruption requirements, supported by a Responsible Procurement Charter, third-party assessments, and continuous monitoring throughout the contract lifecycle.
By working closely with our partners to deliver credible, cost-effective alternatives, we make it easier for your teams to embed more responsible choices into day-to-day operations and guest experience.
Empowering You to Achieve Sustainability Certifications
Hotel certifications like Green Key and Green Globe give your property credible, international recognition for your sustainability achievements. We simplify your path to accreditation by aligning our product and service offerings with the four core pillars these certifications evaluate:
- Sustainable management
- Environmental impact
- Cultural impact
- Socio‑economic impact
Our approach helps your hotel meet internationally recognized sustainability standards.
It enhances your reputation, showcases your commitment to guests, and differentiates your property in the market.
Reducing Water Consumption Together
We help you decrease water consumption with our water-efficient products and solutions. By offering practical options and supporting their integration into daily operations, we help you lower costs, optimize performance, and demonstrate your commitment to sustainability.
Astore's Approach to Responsible and Sustainable F&B Sourcing
From farm to fork, Astore supports your journey toward more ethical and sustainable food and beverage operations, with solutions designed to align with your sustainability goals and deliver tangible value to your hotels and guests.
We focus on three key areas :
Ethical Animal Welfare – partnering with suppliers who respect animal welfare standards.
Food Waste Reduction – solutions to track and reduce food waste while optimizing portions.
Responsible Sourcing – prioritising eco‑certified and traceable products.
Leading Plastic-Free and Circular Solutions for your Hotel
We make it easy for you to move away from single‑use plastics with turnkey, hotel‑wide solutions. Partnering with trusted suppliers, we redesign product offerings to introduce plastic‑free alternatives from front‑of‑house items such as straws, cups, and toiletries to back‑of‑house essentials.
Beyond plastic reduction, we actively implement circular economy principles by specifying products designed to minimise environmental impact throughout their entire lifecycle, from production and use to end‑of‑life recovery.
A structured path to decarbonization
Our decarbonization program helps you take control of your carbon footprint - across your procurement - in a way that is structured, measurable and compatible with your day-to-day operations.
At Astore, we assess supplier carbon maturity, define decarbonization action plans with suppliers, and track performance over time.
We complement this approach with concrete solutions - from green energy contracts to energy-saving equipment and services and low carbon offers - helping you reduce emissions across your operations.
Ensuring Compliance and Responsible Supply for Your Hotel
At Astore, procurement is more than sourcing, it safeguards your hotel's operations and reputation. We rigorously select and monitor suppliers throughout the contract lifecycle, applying strict standards on environmental protection, labour rights, anti‑corruption, and data protection.
Our Responsible Procurement Charter sets out clear commitments for partners, reinforced by regular third‑party audits. This ensures our suppliers go beyond compliance while driving higher sustainability performance across our supply chain.
Recognised as a leader in sustainable procurement, Astore embeds these standards at the core of its sourcing strategy: providing your hotel with a compliant, responsible, and reliable supply base, and enabling you to operate with confidence.
Make Smarter, More Sustainable Purchasing Decisions
Identify the right partners faster and turn your purchasing into a performance driver. With the “Highlighting Sustainable Suppliers” initiative, hotels can easily spot suppliers with strong sustainability and decarbonization performance directly in the Astore Directory.
Clear tags help you prioritize responsible and low-carbon partners, saving time and simplifying your sourcing decisions. By choosing recognized suppliers, you reduce operational and reputational risks, support your brand commitments, and access innovative solutions that contribute to cost efficiency and emission reduction.
A simple way to strengthen your supply chain, enhance your environmental impact, and create long-term value for your hotel.
