Pro-invest Group Contributes to Sustainability Discussions at NoVacancy 2026
Pro-invest Group was pleased to contribute to key industry discussions at the NoVacancy Hotel + Accommodation Industry Expo 2026, where sustainability featured prominently across the Hotel Leaders Summit and Hotel Sustainability Summit.
Cindy van der Wal, Senior ESG & Communications Manager at Pro-invest Group, participated in two sustainability-focused sessions, moderating a discussion exploring what truly sustainable accommodation looks like in practice and joining a separate panel examining sustainability myths and opportunities within the hotel sector.
The sessions brought together industry leaders from across hospitality, architecture, development, investment and urban accommodation, including representatives from FK Architects, HIP V. HYPE, One Global Capital, NABERS, Accor and Salter Brothers Hospitality.
Discussions highlighted the increasingly important role of sustainability in shaping the built environment, reinforcing that environmental and social considerations are becoming integral to how hotels are designed, developed, managed, operated and experienced.
Key themes included building upgrades, guest engagement, climate resilience, sustainable design, emerging accommodation models and long-term asset performance, with a shared emphasis on aligning sustainability initiatives with commercial outcomes.
For Pro-invest Group, these discussions reflect its ongoing commitment to integrating environmental, social and governance considerations across its investment, development, operations and asset management activities, supported by its One Earth, Countless Experiences ESG programme.
Pro-invest Group extends its thanks to the NoVacancy team, Katarina M. and Hotel Sustainability Summit host Diana Rico-Roa for facilitating these important industry conversations and providing a platform to share insights, challenge assumptions and explore practical approaches to delivering meaningful sustainability outcomes.
