A growing focus on ESG in serviced apartments
The Serviced Apartment Awards bring together leaders from across hospitality, real estate, and travel. Being shortlisted reflects a wider shift in the sector, from intention to action.
Serviced apartments and extended stay accommodation continue to grow across Europe and the UK. With that growth comes increased responsibility around:
- Waste management
- Scope 3 emissions
- Transparent ESG reporting
- Guest expectations around sustainability
This category recognises suppliers and service providers helping operators meet those challenges in a practical, measurable way
Why this matters
At Clean the World, our work is simple in principle but powerful in outcome:
- Diverting soap and plastic amenities from landfill
- Providing a certified zero waste to landfill solution
- Delivering verified environmental and social impact data
- Supporting ESG and Scope 3 reporting requirements
Across serviced apartments, this is particularly important. These properties often operate with high occupancy, longer stays, and consistent amenity usage, making waste streams both significant and often overlooked.
Being shortlisted is recognition of the role suppliers can play in helping operators move beyond statements and into measurable impact.
Industry leadership through action
What stands out about this year’s awards is the level of commitment across the industry. From operators to technology providers to sustainability partners, there is a clear move towards:
- Long term thinking over short term decisions
- Data backed sustainability over general claims
- Operational integration over standalone initiatives
The organisations shortlisted across categories demonstrate that sustainability is no longer a side conversation. It is becoming embedded into how hospitality operates, grows, and defines value.
Looking ahead to 11 May
Winners will be announced at the ceremony in London, bringing together leaders from across the global serviced apartment community.
For Clean the World, this moment is about more than recognition. It reflects the collective progress of our partners and the broader industry, showing what is possible when sustainability is approached with clarity, commitment, and measurable outcomes.
We look forward to celebrating alongside peers and continuing to support the sector in delivering real impact.
