IMPACT

Inspire - Motivate - Partner - Analyse - Cultivate - Transform

The Indian School of Hospitality (ISH) introduces the IMPACT Hospitality Conclave, a unique initiative that transcends traditional hospitality events. Rooted in academia and industry collaboration, IMPACT stands to foster meaningful connections and inspire innovative solutions for real-world challenges.

The IMPACT Initiative embodies our core principle: we are “for the industry, by the industry.” The initiative is a fusion between the real-world challenges of the hospitality industry and the academic exploration at our business school.

The goal? To spark creativity, boost enthusiasm, create lasting industry alliances, and turn thoughtful analysis into actions that make a real difference. For our students, this means an education that’s plugged into what’s happening in the hospitality sector. For professionals in the industry, this initiative offers a chance to collaborate with emerging talent and seasoned academics, to jointly shape the future of the field.

By aligning the day-to-day experiences of hospitality professionals with academic insights, IMPACT sets a new standard for how schools and industries can collaborate. Together, we aim to enrich our students’; learning journeys and make lasting, positive changes in the hospitality world.

What is ESG ?

ESG investing is a broad category of standards that socially conscious investors use to evaluate possible investments. Stakeholders attempt to assist businesses that prioritize sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical corporate behavior by taking into account environmental, social, and governance considerations.

Environmental aspect of ESG focuses on the initiatives taken by a corporation to safeguard and preserve the environment. This includes assessing company strategies and programs concerning resource conservation, pollution prevention, and climate change. Stakeholders assess a company's environmental practices, including energy-efficient technology adoption, carbon emission reduction, and ecological footprint reduction.

The ties and interactions a firm has with numerous stakeholders are crucial to the "social" component of ESG. Customers, vendors, staff members, and the communities in which the business operates are all included in this. Social criteria evaluate a company's approach to handling its social responsibility and impact. Investors look at things like humanitarian endeavors, labor practices, product safety, and workplace diversity and inclusion

Finally, the "governance" aspect of ESG concentrates on the organization and methods of a company's administration and leadership. This includes assessing the board of directors' performance, executive remuneration practices, financial reporting transparency, internal controls, and shareholder rights. A corporation is handled ethically and responsibly thanks to strong corporate governance practices, which also lowers the likelihood of fraud, corruption, and unethical behavior.

Luxury Meets Sustainability: Creating High-End Eco- Friendly Experiences

The confluence of luxury and sustainability describes a modern attitude in which extravagance harmonises with environmental responsibility. High-end experiences increasingly place an emphasis on eco-friendly concepts and are no longer limited to simply aesthetics. The marriage of luxury with sustainability transforms pleasure into a responsible option, whether it be through opulent eco- friendly resorts or couture firms adopting sustainable practises. Innovative materials, energy efficiency, and a dedication to ethical sourcing are all part of this transformation. Beyond a fad, it represents an intentional development towards a time when luxury and environmental responsibility are effortlessly combined, demonstrating that extravagance and ecological harmony can live.

The Art of Storytelling

Storytelling, an ancient art form, transcends time, connecting people through the evocative power of narrative. Beyond mere conveyance of facts, it intertwines emotions, experiences, and profound truths, creating a tapestry of human connection. Effective leaders wield storytelling to inspire teams, turning visions into compelling sagas. In education, narratives breathe life into abstract concepts, fostering understanding. Whether through ancient myths or modern digital media, storytelling adapts, remaining a timeless bridge across generations. It is the shared journey through the human experience, a universal language that persists in shaping perspectives and forging connections in an ever-evolving world.

Objective

The objective of a storytelling workshop is to empower participants with the skills to craft and deliver compelling narratives for various purposes, including personal growth, communication, creativity, and cultural preservation.
