Soho House is a private members-only club open for folks in artistic industries with 23 locations across the globe. Unlike most other social clubs, its membership process is less about status and wealth and more about creativity. At Soho House’s West Hollywood club, Kim Kardashian and cast members of The Real Housewives have been rejected membership, a rare rebuke in Los Angeles for “influencers” and reality TV stars.

Soho House has also distinguished itself from other private clubs by committing to significantly reduce the amount of plastic it uses in their locations. As a part of this initiative, it has agreed to become one of the world’s first adopters of A Plastic Planet’s Commitment Mark “Working Towards Plastic Free.”

This mark, which is awarded to businesses who commit to making significant changes to their reliance on plastic, is a signal that the organization has a serious intention to drastically bring down the amount of plastic used in their operations. A Plastic Planet recognizes that the process towards plastic free is a journey, and acknowledges that no business can be 100% plastic free, but the mark is not bestowed lightly and requires the organization to devote more than empty pledges towards less dependence on the material, of which only 9% gets recycled across the globe.
