The Hospitality Sustainable Purchasing Consortium announced today that American Standard Brands has joined the Consortium as a Founding Member. A leader in creating high quality bathroom products for the hospitality industry, American Standard’s membership furthers the Consortium’s goals of establishing the Hospitality Sustainable Purchasing Index (HSP Index) as the?de facto performance measurement solution for the industry. With more than 4.5 million hotel rooms in the U.S., the products that American Standard produces – including faucets, shower systems, furniture, vitreous china fixtures, kitchen sinks, bath tubs, and other plumbing products and accessories – are major investments for all hotels, brands and owners. As an element of in-room bathroom design, they also have a substantial impact on the guest experience and the environmental footprint of a hotel. BD+C
