About Corporate Responsibility

Responsible business is ingrained in the fabric of IHG and central to our purpose of delivering True Hospitality for Good to our wonderful guests, colleagues, and hotel owners across the globe.

We believe that how we grow as a company and work to be a greater force for good are inextricably linked, so we’re empowering our people, and working with our industry, to help shape the future of responsible travel.

In 2021 we launched Journey to Tomorrow, our 10-year action plan of clear commitments to drive change for our people, communities, and planet over the next decade, aligned to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

We know that it’s never been more crucial that we move fast and act now, and our corporate responsibility team is at the heart of this, supporting IHG’s three operating regions – The Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia & Africa (EMEAA) and Greater China.

We also hold responsibility for leading all ESG reporting activities and communicating progress to a variety of highly engaged stakeholders.

This includes collaborating with teams across Operations, Learning & Development, Procurement, and Technology to embed sustainability into various platforms, like General Manager learning pathways and corporate onboarding modules.

Additionally, the role involves developing bespoke materials for specific functions, coordinating employee networks to share insights on sustainability, and working with regional teams to deliver tailored training for both hotel and corporate audiences.

Overall, you would play a key role in aligning IHG’s global workforce with its long-term sustainability goals.
