CHEVY CHASE, MARYLAND – PM Hotel Group, a leading hotel management company working with luxury lifestyle properties as well as branded, independent select-service hotels across the country, today announced its partnership with Procure Impact. As part of their commitment to the Dignity of Work Pledge, PM Hotel Group has pledged a goal of creating 2,000 hours of work for overlooked populations through purchases of products on the Procure Impact platform. This new partnership is the latest example of PM Hotel Group seeking to create positive change in the communities in which they operate.

By aligning our procurement practices with our values, we can drive meaningful change and create a more inclusive economy.”

The Procure Impact marketplace has thousands of products made in the United States across high-demand hospitality categories, including grab-and-go snacks, food and beverage, bath and spa products, retail, furniture, art, VIP amenities and more.
