Sustainability Vision and Policy Statement

HSH adopted the following Sustainability Vision and Policy Statement in 2008 to guide the planning and operations of its Head Office, properties and other businesses. Through the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee's work, HSH identified key sustainability issues and objectives focusing on six major areas, which are set out below in the statement that was endorsed by our Board.

 

HSH Sustainability Vision and Policy Statement

 

Sustainability Vision

HSH aspires to manage its businesses and operations to high ethical and social responsibility standards as a leading hotel and property group. We are committed to integrating sustainable practices and principles across our operations in a balanced way whilst providing an exceptional level of service to our customers.

 

Policy Statement

To achieve its Sustainability Vision, HSH supports good corporate governance practices and ethics and strives to deliver world class services and products in an environmentally and socially responsible manner, while ensuring a respectful, safe and healthy environment for our staff that supports their professional and personal development. We will consult with our key stakeholders and share information with them about our sustainability performance, achievements and challenges while seeking to balance their needs and goals with the Company's objectives.

 

HSH focuses on six sustainability themes:

 

1. Corporate governance and ethics

As a responsible, publicly-listed company and to achieve our vision for sustained and healthy, long-term growth, we ensure that our business is conducted in accordance with rigorous professional ethical and moral standards, as outlined in our code on corporate governance practices. Adherence to high standards of professionalism, transparency and accountability is reinforced through the oversight of our Board and the CSRC.

 

2. Employees

Supporting, empowering and nurturing our employees are at the heart of HSH's tradition of service excellence. We establish and implement policies that promote a fair and respectful workplace. We invest in our people, providing ongoing training and development opportunities to enhance their career progression. As an equal opportunities employer, HSH promotes diversity among its staff around the world.

 

3. Environment

HSH seeks to adopt practices and initiatives to contribute to healthy indoor environmental quality, lower carbon intensity, increased energy and water efficiency and reduced resource consumption and waste generation.

 

4. Health and safety

HSH is dedicated to ensuring a healthy, safe and secure environment for our employees, guests and customers and promoting awareness of the importance of these issues for risk management and sustainable hospitality.

 

5. Supply chain

HSH endeavours to procure products, produce, equipment and services that are environmentally and socially responsible. We seek to maximize our sourcing of locally-produced, organic and sustainable products and produce; energy- and water-efficient equipment; and products that are durable and/or recyclable.

 

6. Community investment and engagement

HSH believes that successful businesses thrive in sustainable communities. We are committed to supporting a range of organisations and causes based on the needs of our local communities, and encourage the involvement of our staff in environmental and social projects.

 

The HSH Sustainability Vision and Policy Statement are at the core of the Group's Sustainability Strategy which continues to evolve with the development and expansion of our business.
