San Diego, CA, 12 January 2026: ReadyBid, the world's most trusted provider of hotel RFP and hotel sourcing solutions, has been recognized by the Global Business Travel Sustainability Council as an industry pioneer for its contributions to sustainable and ethical hotel procurement. This recognition honors ReadyBid's ongoing leadership in merging advanced automation with environmental and social responsibility.

The accolade highlights ReadyBid's achievements in building tools that enable corporations to manage sourcing ethically - balancing cost optimization with sustainability and fairness. Its Smart Sustainability Index and AI Governance Framework have become benchmarks for responsible innovation in hotel procurement technology.

Joseph Friedmann, President & CEO of ReadyBid, said, "Our vision for automation has always been rooted in responsibility. Technology is powerful only when it serves both performance and principle. This recognition reaffirms ReadyBid's commitment to creating a procurement ecosystem that is transparent, sustainable, and globally equitable."

ReadyBid's hotel RFP tool and hotel sourcing tool now include enhanced sustainability modules that allow enterprises to measure supplier emissions, renewable energy usage, and social impact within sourcing workflows. The system automatically weights these ESG factors alongside rate performance and contract compliance, allowing corporations to bid on hotels with a balanced view of both cost and conscience.

In addition, ReadyBid's AI algorithms are trained to ensure supplier neutrality and data integrity, reducing the risk of bias in hotel bidding and selection. The company's continued focus on fair AI practices aligns with global corporate ethics standards, ensuring transparency at every step of the procurement process.

The recognition follows a year of expansion and innovation for ReadyBid. The company launched its Predictive Collaboration Hub, Autonomous Rate Governance System, and Dynamic Pricing Module - each designed to give procurement teams unparalleled intelligence and control while maintaining full transparency.

Friedmann added, "The industry is evolving beyond automation. The future belongs to organizations that can prove their sourcing decisions are ethical, data-driven, and sustainable. ReadyBid's technology makes that future possible today."

ReadyBid's recognition by the Global Business Travel Sustainability Council cements its position as a global thought leader in responsible procurement transformation. The company plans to continue expanding its sustainability intelligence and governance frameworks throughout 2026, reinforcing its role as both a technology innovator and an ethical industry steward.
