Mandarin Oriental has since continued to expand global responsible commitments, with formal policies, strategy and processes now serving as the foundation for efforts to purchase more sustainably and ethically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Group works closely with suppliers to identify and purchase best available options that are of high quality and produced with respect to human and labour rights and consideration for the environment. New targets for all Mandarin Oriental-operated outlets include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>By the end of 2022, 100% compliance with MOHG \u2018Avoid List\u2019 of endangered seafood species<\/li><li>By the end of 2022, 100% responsibly sourced coffee, tea, vanilla and cocoa<\/li><li>By the end of 2023, 100% cage-free eggs (shelled and liquid)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that progress is measured and reported in a transparent and robust manner, each hotel\u2019s responsible procurement status will be independently verified by the internationally recognised third-party assessor, LRQA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Group partners with industry peers and leading NGOs in advancing sourcing practices and expanded its \u2018Avoid List\u2019 of endangered seafood from 8 to 19 seafood types this year, covering all at-risk seafood types identified by the latest<a href=\"https:\/\/protect-eu.mimecast.com\/s\/UI51CNLgYsvNmm4hm5-n0?domain=worldwildlife.org\">WWF\u2019s Endangered Seafood Guide<\/a>. This expansion of commitment reflects stepping away from serving a number of \u2018luxury\u2019 seafood items, including bluefin tuna, caviar and abalone, unless they can be certified to the robust standards of the Marine Stewardship Council or Aquaculture Stewardship Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The efforts of the Group\u2019s restaurants toward responsible procurement have not gone unnoticed. Amber at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, received a Green Star in the 2022 Michelin Guide, in addition to its two Michelin Stars. This award was in recognition of the restaurant\u2019s industry-leading sustainable practices, including a dairy-free and less meat-centric menu, and the use of local organic produce, sustainably harvested seafood and responsibly sourced agricultural commodities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe live in a time where the need for action against the climate crisis and for addressing sustainable development challenges has never been more pressing. As an award-winning global luxury hospitality group, we are committed to delivering hospitality excellence in a manner that is Naturally Better for our Planet, Guests, Colleagues and Communities.\u201d said James Riley, Group Chief Executive.&nbsp;&nbsp; \u201cAs we grow our portfolio of hotels and residences, we will continue to strengthen our responsible procurement programme as part of our commitment to operate sustainably over the long term.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Progress on the Group\u2019s global initiatives are regular communicated, including through the company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mandarinoriental.com\/our-company\/sustainability\">Sustainability Report<\/a>s, and are supported by the dedication of Mandarin Oriental\u2019s 10,000+ colleagues who continue to identify impactful ways to respond to local community and environmental needs. The next Sustainability Report will be published in Spring 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group(MOHG) has pledged to expand its responsible procurement efforts to cover the key priority categories of seafood, coffee, tea, vanilla, cocoa and cage-free eggs.
