From their corporate website:
"We believe that every action has the capacity to create positive impact. As does every purchase. By strategically partnering with vendors that align with our values, together we can foster a kinder, more equitable world.
As a family-owned company, we work hard to develop authentic relationships with key partners who deliver products that are the very best for our guests and for the world. We engage with social enterprise companies who focus on more than just revenue, and include social impact as a staple in their business model.
From our retail spaces, to corporate gifting, to guest rooms and spas, we’re offering more and more items that drive impact and change lives. You’ll know them by the Products with Purpose tag. These partnerships allow us to make our work in hospitality – and our guests’ stays – more impactful for our neighborhoods and beyond.
Our partnership with Procure Impact connects us and our guests with high-quality products made by underestimated makers, artisans, and craftspeople. Thistle Farms empowers women survivors of exploitation through lotions, candles, and lip balms. Cameron’s Coffee & Chocolates provides job skills to adults with intellectual disabilities while creating elegant chocolates. Unshattered supports recovering individuals with fashionable bags, offering community and economic stability. These purchases enable healing and provide a sense of value and purpose through meaningful work."
