Sustainable Practices Guide: Triple Bottom Line Sustainable Practices | Triple Bottom Line | Resources Intent: To make the world a better place to live by... OUR (QUAINTANCE-WEAVER RESTAURANTS & HOTELS) MISSION IS TO: Provide our guests with the highest quality food, drink and accommodations at a good value. Ensure that each guest receives prompt, friendly, attentive service by a well-trained service staff in a clean comfortable, well-maintained environment that is warm and hospitable (pleasant acoustics, lighting, temperature, and aroma). Offer an outstanding menu plus an impressive selection of specials in our restaurants and an outstanding array of gracious amenities in distinctive hotels. Provide employment that is rewarding and offers education and opportunity. Generate profits that: a) justify the investment, b) afford compensation to those who contribute, and c) allow the company to grow. Our mission amounts to what is sometimes called a triple-bottom line. Below we quantify our commitment to both our social and physical environment. WE ARE COMMITED TO: 1. Physical Environment Spin-Up : Use best practices that are both responsible and economically sustainable. Educate : Adopt a management system that continuously educates staff on ways to improve performance in dealing with and understanding environmental sustainability. Implement : Use products and services that consider social, economic and environmental impacts. Conserve : Use less electricity, gas and water plus reduce, reuse and recycle. Go Local : Use local farmers, food makers and vendors. 2. Social Environment Fairness : Employ a progressive diversity program. Leadership/Followership : Leadership has a genuine concern for the welfare of the entire “community” (providing a fun, safe, educational, purpose-driven, values-centered, sustainable place to be a compensated volunteer). Go Local : Work with local farmers and artists to give back to the community and to supply our guests with the highest quality products. “Volunteer” Model : To support the idea that we are all volunteers, the authority in our organization comes from its intent, mission and values. 3. Economic Environment “It ain’t sustainable to go broke.” We must find ways that serve our physical, social and economic environment commitments.
