Plates That Are Not Just Plates In the hotel industry, nothing is neutral.Nothing. Everything we place in front of the guest communicates, conditions their behaviour and, if we lose focus for a moment, can work against us. And tableware… oh, tableware.That small detail many hotels choose from a catalogue because it looks nice, or worse, […]

Companies carry a growing responsibility as social actors, capable of positively influencing the communities where they operate.
