Eco Hotels Philippines won praise today from international NGO Lever Foundation for its commitment to increasing plant-based menu offerings to 30% across all its properties by 2025, making it the first homegrown Filipino hospitality brand to formalize such a comprehensive plant-forward initiative. The expansion builds on the company's existing sustainability framework, which has positioned it as a leader in eco-conscious hospitality. It incorporates innovative plant-based dishes while responding to growing consumer demand for environmentally responsible dining options.
The plant-based menu expansion represents a natural evolution of Eco Hotels' established sustainable practices, which include inclusive hiring from local communities, green supply chain partnerships, and eco-conscious design principles. Founded by Don Ramon Bagatsing and Alessandra Atienza with a vision rooted in environmental preservation and cultural respect, the company operates on a triple bottom line approach of People, Planet, and Profit.
