OUR OBJECTIVE

Distinkt's objective is to help businesses become more sustainable, culturally, socially and environmentally.  Facilitating businesses, in their transition to greater environmental and social sustainability. This is achieved by Distinkt creating bespoke action plans for its clients and supporting them in their application of these.  The ultimate goal is to help businesses become as cohesive, collaborative, culturally and environmentally sustainable as possible.

INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

Inclusivity and diversity are important principles to Distinkt. Distinkt's action plans have embedded within them many aspects of social and cultural sustainability and are formulated to build inclusivity and broaden diversity using the core functionality of business, bringing people together.

SUSTAINABLE PLEDGE

Distinkt believes it is the job of every business to play its part in creating a long-term, sustainable society.  By committing to the UN sustainable development goals, and creating a framework for the hospitality industry to do this (in compliance with ISO 14001), Distinkt aims to set the standard for sustainability best practice in the UK hospitality industry.

See how we're complying with the UN SDGs below. 

GOAL 11

Goal 11 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals promotes sustainability and inclusivity within urban areas.  In facilitating venues to create culturally and socially sustainable environments in which people can recreate, safe from prejudice, Distinkt is contributing to the achievement of Goal 11.  It is Distinkt’s belief that a sustainable, people-focused, approach is one of the corner stones of creating a diverse and thriving community.
