Hotels play an important role in the travel and tourism industry, which contributes to the economic development of local communities around the world. We have a responsibility to the people and the physical environment of those communities - a responsibility to see that the community is not hurt by our presence, rather enhanced by it, both economical and socially.
We achieve this goal by going about our business in a responsible manner. Radisson Hotels & Resorts, Responsible Business is centered around three important areas:
Taking responsibility for diversity, inclusion and the health, safety and security of our employees and guests
Showing leadership in social and ethical responsibility issues within the company as well as in the community
Reducing our negative impact on the environment
Radisson has a rich history of Responsible Business practices, offering a strong foundation as we continue to build on that history. Ultimately, we strive to serve the common good through our commitment to social responsibility.
