Responsible Business - Let's take responsibility!
Taking responsibility has been a fundamental idea for the Rezidor Hotel group for many years, by being involved within different actions to contribute and create a sustainable environment and also to acknowledge and improve the social and ethical aspects around the world.
The commitment for the environment become of greater importance when in 2001 there was a special programme created called Responsible Business. Responsible Business is a programme implemented in all of the hotels and an action plan specially designed for each hotel. This RB programme covers areas such as community outreach, environmental improvement, employee well being and health and safety. For more information about the RB programme please visit www.responsiblebusiness.rezidor.com.
Our hotels are engaged with both local charity groups and Rezidor's corporate international charity organisation, the World Childhood Foundation. The mission of Childhood is to defend the rights of the child and to promote better living conditions for vulnerable and exploited children at risk all over the world. For more information go to: www.childhood.org.
