The United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals back in 2015, as a universal call to action to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. There are 17 SDGs that address the global challenges we face.
For the purpose of focusing the business model on a hotel model that is committed to sustainable development, through the Sustainable Business Strategy Minor Hotels Europe & Americas generates value for the different stakeholders in the places where it is present. In this context, the Company has an impact and capacity to influence a total of 11 Sustainable Development Goals, focusing its strategy on two of them:
SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities
SDG 8 Decent work and economic growth
Minor Hotels Europe & Americas has performed an analysis of the agenda’s contribution to the SDG, which in turn has allowed us to identify which goals are more relevant for the Company, both on account of its activity, commitments, and strategic focus and on account of different external factors considered. Convinced that it is going in the right direction to meet the next challenges set in relation to sustainability, the Company is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) it can contribute to and is therefore committed to continuing to create value in the long term and at global level, in the framework of the 2030 Agenda.
Under this commitment, the Group has developed its Sustainable Business Strategy based on two pillars UP FOR PLANET and UP FOR PEOPLE:
Aware of the importance of achieving the established objectives, Minor Hotels Europe & Americas works in collaboration with various organizations to achieve the sustainable development agenda and, consequently, establishes alliances based on principles, values and common objectives with institutions and associations.
This common objective emerges under the motto “Preparing the Company to operate in a decarbonised world”. In this line, Minor Hotels Europe & Americas places special emphasis on collaboration agreements with partners aligned with the Sustainable Business Strategy.
