The Rezidor Hotel Group, one of the fastest growing hotel companies worldwide, has been recognised by the Ethisphere Institute, US, as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies for 2010.
Out of a record number of nominations for the award, Rezidor secured its place on the list by going the extra mile, implementing upright business practices and initiatives that are instrumental to the company’s success, benefit the community and raise the bar for ethical standards within the industry.
The respect for social and ethical issues within the company is one of the three main pillars of Rezidor’s ambitious, group-wide Responsible Business Programme which has its roots as far back as 1989.
Every employee is introduced to Rezidor’s ethical culture and code of business ethics through the Living Responsible Business training programme. This foundation is expanded and promoted widely within Rezidor from the Star Supervisor development programme, to internal audit training.
It is further reflected in the ‘Always Care’ motto of the group’s safety and security programme, TRIC=S, which is recognised as best practice.
Kurt Ritter, president and CEO of Rezidor said: “We believe the strength of a company starts with a deep commitment to ethics from the top and is sustained with an unwavering dedication to these same high standards from employees at every level.”
The Radisson brand is also celebrating. Unifying Radisson Blu and Radisson Edwardian hotels has made the brand Europe’s number one, with 170 hotels and 38,079 rooms across the continent according to ‘Upscale Brands Top 10 in Europe’ by MKG Hospitality, Paris.
