Localizing Our Supply Chain

We prioritise sourcing safe and hygienic food from local producers and farmers, allowing our guests to embark on a culinary journey that showcases the authentic flavours of the region. We choose sustainable and durable construction materials that are indigenous to the location. The art in our palaces are heritage craft that not only celebrate the region’s culture, but also fosters valuable livelihood opportunities and nurtures the development of local communities. In this way we also reduce our environmental footprint while generating socio-economic value in our state of operation.

Procurement from Sustainable and Certified Sources

At The Leela, we believe that exceptional hospitality begins with responsible choices. We work closely with suppliers who share our values of quality, integrity, and sustainability, while supporting local producers, women-led enterprises, and MSMEs across our supply chain.

Recognizing the growing importance of animal welfare in sustainable food systems, The Leela has partnered with Karuna Ethics Alliance (KEA) as Founding Member. Through this collaboration, we are working alongside industry peers, experts, and supply chain partners to strengthen animal welfare practices and advance responsible sourcing standards in India. Through this partnership, we are advancing our journey towards 100% cage-free egg sourcing, and encouraging the procurement of animal welfare-certified and responsibly sourced food products wherever feasible.

All suppliers are expected to comply with The Leela's Supplier Code of Conduct, which covers ethical business conduct, labour rights, health and safety, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance.

Blossoming Livelihoods

The Leela has partnered with Jodhpur Mahila Griha Udhyog to empower women from vulnerable communities in Rajasthan through skill training and livelihood development. We source handcrafted bags made by these skilled artisans for our guest rooms, each stitch symbolizing our commitment to supporting women-led enterprises, fostering small businesses, and promoting social inclusion.
