With everything going on in the world today, we need the restorative nature of Christmas to return. A time to relax and enjoy the holiday with all of your loved ones.

At FSG we believe that sustainability does not and should not, involve spending more - in fact it's the opposite. At Christmas in particular it's about being resourceful and putting less pressure on yourselves to panic buy for that perfect gift - allowing you the time to be present, doing the things you love, with the people you love.

A huge opportunity lies for those businesses ahead of the curve, implementing Green Actions on their daily activities, to attract a large % of the market by setting themselves ahead of the rest.

Yet, the Hospitality industry is reluctant to embrace the necessary changes to create a Greener industry.
