NH Hotel Group
Responsible growth
The Company’s commitment to maintaining growth
with all its stakeholders, contributing to the Group’s
sustainable development, has made it possible to
integrate responsible business management into
economic, social and environmental policies, with
the aim of being the benchmark for Corporate Social
Responsibility in the sector.
In the last twelve years, NH Hotel Group has been
developing a charitable initiative through various
foundations and non-governmental organisations,
donating almost 22,000 rooms to low-income families
with seriously sick children or teenagers hospitalised
far from home.
This programme, called “Hotels with a heart”, was
recognised in the “Best Sustainable Development and
Corporate Responsibility Incentive” category at the
Worldwide Hospitality Awards in Paris, in recognition
of the work done by over 2,000 employees who get
involved every year as volunteers.
In terms of the environment, NH Hotel group received
the Soho Eco Eficiciencia award in the “Economic
sustainability” category, for use of energy management
tools which work with improvement of the system,
and for inclusion of installations with a proven high
level of energy efficiency.
And more recently, in London, the Company received
the Business Travel award for the “Best upper upscale
brand” for its NH Collection brand. These awards
will be handed out in 2016 for their 21st year, and are
awarded in recognition of the success achieved by the
leading players in the international business travel
industry.
