WHO WE ARE
Plain Tiger’s B2B marketplace enables hotels to discover and buy from verified sustainable suppliers quickly and cost-effectively, accelerating their transition to sustainable supply chains.
Every supplier on Plain Tiger has been vetted against a rigorous selection process, based on their environmental and social impact. We offer these suppliers the opportunity to partner with our hospitality clients - the leading hotels in the Middle East and beyond.
By connecting hotels and sustainable suppliers, we are addressing the significant opportunity to improve the environmental and social impact of the $242b spent every year by hotels on consumables and utilities. This forms the basis of our mission to drive sustainable production and consumption globally. We have much to do, but are proud to have been recognised at the World Economic Forum in Davos, as a ‘Top 2 Most Impactful Retail Startup Globally’.
Welcome to Plain Tiger.
WHAT INSPIRES US
Here’s a story for those who are wondering, “Why Plain Tiger?”
Danaus chrysippus, a butterfly also known as ‘Plain Tiger’, is found most commonly throughout Africa, Asia, the Middle East and parts of Australia. The Plain Tiger is known for its resilience and its ability to thrive in modern, urban environments. We like to think of it as the queen of the urban jungle.
For us, the Plain Tiger represents the intersection between nature and the physical world. As a butterfly, it also has special significance for us as a pollinator. We like to think of sustainable suppliers as pollinators – a movement of powerful individuals, spreading their influence subtly but with intrinsic strength.
As the furthest migrating insect in the world, the Plain Tiger, like our brand, belongs to the world.
