サマリー
あらすじ・解説
In this episode, we sit down with Richard Tan, the Vice President of Procurement for the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Greater China) at Marriott International. With over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Richard shares his journey, successes, and valuable advice on transitioning to cage free eggs as a hospitality leader in Asia. He recounts eye-opening visits to conventional caged farms, and how seeing the condition of the animals in cages instilled in him a personal conviction to create change and do the right thing.
Richard talks about Marriott's cage-free progress in Asia, and outlines three pivotal actions that have helped him instil supplier confidence. He shares Marriott's goal of achieving 50% cage-free implementation within the next 12 months, and imparts strategic advice for those implementing similar commitments in the hospitality sector.
As the episode concludes, Richard leaves us with a piece of advice that helps keep him grounded: "how you do business is as important as the business that you do," advocating for introspection and purposeful change in the pursuit of a sustainable and humane future.
