Troo Hospitality, which offers comprehensive hotel management services, has been partnering with us since September 2022 to assess, manage, and improve the sustainability performance of its growing portfolio. Sophie and Ellen from our team had the pleasure of hosting a workshop at their HQ in Manchester. The workshop brought together key stakeholders to launch their ambitious sustainability strategy, TROO Impact. Employee engagement is key to driving positive change. The workshop focused on embedding sustainable practices and defining the strategic rollout of TROO Impact across the portfolio, ensuring that sustainability is integrated operationally. We recognised the achievements of our FuturePlus IMPACT CERTIFIED hotels by presenting plaques to their general managers during the workshop. We look forward to seeing these displayed within the hotels (👀 keep an eye out for further updates). #TROOImpact #Sustainability #SustainableBusiness

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, it's essential to reframe how we think about mental health. As Jonathan Hook FRSA, Director of Learning of @ChamonixHardX reminds us: 🗣 "When people think of mental health, they're actually using it as a euphemism for mental illness, depression, and anxiety. But actually, when we are at our best and loving our work, we are experiencing good mental health. "Reframing mental health as the core foundation of high performance and also how to sustain high performance at an individual level or as a leader is of critical importance." Jonathan and CHX Performance Founder, Damien Stork joined Alexandra Smith and Mike Penrose on the Business of Sustainability podcast, to discuss how mental health is the foundation of high performance. They explore the concept of ‘People Sustainability’ and its importance for individuals, businesses, and leaders alike. 🔗 Listen to the full episode here 👉 open.spotify.com/episode/32DsKo… #MentalHealthAwareness #PeopleSustainability #Leadership #Sustainability
