At HM Hotels, we wish to further consolidate our commitment to the environment and to the local community and regions where we operate. For this purpose, following efforts throughout the years to reduce our environmental impact, we have developed a Sustainability Management System (SMS) that integrates all the company’s different processes so that we can achieve our environmental goals as effectively as possible.
To integrate the SMS in the company’s every-day activities, we have created our own brand: The PLANET by HM Hotels. Because it is up to everyone to bring about change
What do we want to achieve?
The PLANET by HM hotels takes sustainability into account in all the company’s different activities: in design processes, in our facilities, in energy, water, refrigerant gases, the generation of waste, resource management, consumption and squandered resources, the conservation of biodiversity, carbon footprints, the impact of our activities on the local community, and in the fields of employment and finance. The objectives for the implementation of the program are:
To put core aspects of the programme into effect in a cross-cutting way
Employment: To promote the wellbeing of our teams of staff and to foster training
The environment: To measure our carbon footprint and to improve trends in consumption and waste management
To set in motion a plan to promote the local community, based on different courses of action.
How we’ll do this
