Responsible Business - Let's take responsibility

Taking responsibility for the environment and local community has been an important part of Rezidor's broader commitment to sustainable development for many years. In 2001, this commitment was fortified and placed within the scope of a programme called Responsible Business (RB). Each hotel has a unique RB Action Plan covering areas such as community outreach, environmental improvement, employee well-being and health and safety. To read more about the RB programme, please go to http://www.responsiblebusiness.rezidor.com/.

This hotel is engaged with both local charity groups and Rezidor's corporate international charity organisation, the World Childhood Foundation, whose mission 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.
