Policy & Stakeholders

The Responsible Business (RB) programme is structured around the RB Policy and supporting policies, objectives and benchmarking indicators. The policy, and thus the RB programme, is structured around seven key stakeholders and their expectations of the company from an economic, social and environmental point of view. Different stakeholders means different expectations, which may be contradictory to one another. A responsible business must be able to balance differing expectations while allowing all stakeholder groups to feel their demands are being met.

Employees

We shall educate and facilitate for our employees to make a conscious decision in favour of environmental and social issues in their private and business lives.

 

Suppliers

We shall strive to purchase products that have a reduced environmental impact during their life cycle, from suppliers that demonstrate environmental and social responsibility.

 

Environment

We shall do our utmost to ensure that our business is environmentally sustainable, and that we continuously improve performance in the areas of energy, water, chemicals and resource consumption, and waste generation.

Customers

We shall inform and make it easy for our guests to participate in RB related activities at our hotels.

We shall work together with property owners to find innovative solutions that satisfy our economic, environmental and social objectives.
