Procure Impact Announces Partnership with Highgate to Advance Social Procurement Across Its Hotel Portfolio
Through this collaboration, Procure Impact and Highgate will work together to design curated hotel marketplaces, custom amenities, and guest-facing experiences, bringing to life more than 6,000 thoughtfully sourced products from a network of mission-driven suppliers.
These suppliers include social enterprises that create jobs, brands that give back through nonprofit partnerships, and local and independent businesses that strengthen regional economies, ensuring every program delivers exceptional quality products that deliver measurable community impact.
Procure Impact tracks the social impact of transactions across its programs, including the number of paid work hours generated through purchases from workforce-focused social enterprises.
"At Highgate, we are continually focused on elevating the guest experience across our portfolio," said Arash Azarbarzin, Principal and Chief Executive Officer of Highgate.
Through this partnership, Highgate has committed to creating 10,000 hours of life-changing employment annually through social procurement. This commitment supports the Dignity of Work Pledge, an initiative launched by Procure Impact in collaboration with the American Hotel & Lodging Association, with progress tracked via AHLA's Responsible Stay platform.
