BACKGROUND

EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF HOSPITALITY LEADERS AT SHL

Like many hospitality institutions, raising awareness about food waste and embedding sustainability into everyday practices was a key challenge for SHL.

While students were being trained in culinary excellence and service standards, measuring and understanding the impact of food waste remained a blind spot.

The collaboration with KITRO enables students to monitor and analyze food waste firsthand, fostering a deeper understanding of sustainability in hospitality operations.

By incorporating real-time data into the curriculum, SHL equips future hospitality leaders with the tools to drive sustainable practices in the industry.
