Bed Manufacturer of the Year and Royal Warrant holder, Hypnos, has been crowned Considerate Supplier 2015, at the Considerate Hotelier Awards.
This prestigious accolade, which was awarded to Hypnos by a panel of experts from within the hospitality industry, was given to the ethical company for its socially responsible business model and for its efforts in creating environmentally friendly and sustainable beds.
The Considerate Hotelier Awards are the only awards within the hotel industry to focus solely on hoteliers’ commitment to making their business more sustainable. The accolade signals Hypnos’ dedication to corporate and social responsibility and its continuing ethical development as leaders in the hospitality industry.
“As a business which prides itself on creating ethical beds used from natural and sustainable sources, we are absolutely delighted to have won this award and been recognised by the industry in this way,” says Group MD of Hypnos, Stephen Ward.
“An award such as this is a great way of cementing our commitment to the environment and for also boosting team morale and showcasing all the hard work that everyone at Hypnos puts in to driving innovation and sustainability within the sector.”
Holding strong ethical & environmentally friendly values, each Hypnos bed is created from the finest sustainable materials including FSC or PEFC certified timbers that have been sourced from managed forests, meaning that all its beds are 100% recyclable at the end of their life. Furthermore, Hypnos’ wider responsible approach is emphasised by becoming the first carbon neutral bed maker in the country and by passing the Sedex Ethical Trading Audit.
With ethical bed production at the core of the company’s values, its sustainable credentials also extend to aftercare. The business offers retailers a full disposal service for old beds, deconstructing beds to create recycled raw materials for re-use in other industries. This responsible approach results in 100% landfill avoidance and offers a green and responsible way of disposing of old mattresses and bedding.
