Abstract
This research examines the sustainability communication strategies employed by Michelin Green Star award‐winning restaurants. The present study utilised qualitative content analysis of textual data from Michelin Guide descriptions for 182 restaurants, thereby highlighting six core communication themes: sustainable technologies, diversified culinary offerings, community‐focused initiatives, sustainable supply chains, entrepreneur values and sustainability certifications. The findings emphasise authenticity, transparency, local community engagement, waste valorisation, circular economy innovations and entrepreneurial passion as key drivers of sustainability communication strategies in the hospitality sector.
期刊介绍:
Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
