Responsible Business Conduct According to ISO 26000
Hotel Legacy Group Collection is committed to the principles of ISO 26000 – the international standard for social responsibility – to ensure sustainable and responsible practices throughout our entire value chain. This means that we:
Promote a sustainable value chain: We set clear requirements for our suppliers regarding environmental performance, working conditions, and ethics, and follow up through third-party audits and sustainability certifications. Transparency from raw material to finished product strengthens both our brand and customer trust.
Identify and manage risks: We actively work to reduce risks related to insufficient control over subcontractors’ sustainability efforts and unethical working conditions. By increasing traceability and supplier management, we minimize the risk of greenwashing and strengthen our competitiveness.
Seize business opportunities: Greater transparency and long-term partnerships with sustainable suppliers build customer trust and enable more efficient logistics and resource use.
Advance circular solutions: We prioritize reuse, sustainable material choices, and design for long product life. Our circular business models, such as leasing and take-back of furniture, help reduce environmental impact and strengthen our market position.
Engage and educate customers and consumers: We communicate our sustainability efforts clearly and educate customers about environmentally friendly choices, including through digital product passports and guidance on sustainable use.
Provide sustainable service: By offering repairs, upgrades, and advice on environmentally friendly use, we demonstrate responsibility and build long-term customer relationships.
We view ISO 26000 as a framework for continuously improving our sustainability work and contributing to a more responsible furniture industry. “
