We did it! We are so humbled and proud to announce that we won not one, but TWO awards at the ASAP – The Association of Serviced Apartment Providers Awards last week.
🔸Best Place to Work
🔸Best Sustainability Initiative
ASAP joyfully hosted its first awards ceremony since COVID at LABS House in Bloomsbury on June 22nd. The bar was sponsored by us at Situ, offering an extensive selection of delightful espresso martinis and an array of other exceptional cocktails.
Best Place to Work Award
Best Sustainability Initiative Award
We have been working on aspects of our Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) approach for several years, constantly striving to be a good business. One that is good to work for from an employee’s perspective; trusted by clients to manage their traveller’s accommodation needs; valued by supply accommodation partners to transact with and a business that cares about the environment. However, our approach was somewhat fragmented and not transparent to key stakeholders. There was also a sense that this sort of ‘stuff’ can be difficult, and the next steps too big to take. We wondered, “How do we move on, or even where do we start in certain areas?”.
The key objectives were to:
- To create a sense of ‘journey’ in that we have started work
on ESG, there is plenty more to do – but work has started! - Set some realistic and measurable goals to work towards.
- Help the whole Situ team understand what ESG all is about
and what steps we are taking as a company and encourage
each individual to take action in their working and personal
lives that support ESG principles. - Be able to easily explain to clients and partners the ESG
steps that we are taking, sharing actions to date and seeking
ideas and partnerships for the future. - Have an easy-to-understand and highly visual brand
for this work, that at its very core has a sense of energy
and movement. Nothing too dry or dull, and certainly no
greenwashing.
Following a delightful period of networking accompanied by delectable food and beverages, the attendees gathered for the much-anticipated awards ceremony. The event commenced with a warm welcome from ASAP CEO James Foice.
