About Corporate Responsibility
Responsible business is ingrained in the fabric of IHG and central to our purpose of delivering True Hospitality for Good to our wonderful guests, colleagues, and hotel owners across the globe. We believe that how we grow as a company and work to be a greater force for good are inextricably linked, so we’re empowering our people, and working with our industry, to help shape the future of responsible travel.
In 2021 we launched Journey to Tomorrow, our 10-year action plan of clear commitments to drive change for our people, communities, and planet over the next decade, aligned to the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
We know that it’s never been more crucial that we move fast and act now, and our corporate responsibility team is at the heart of this, supporting IHG’s three operating regions – The Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia & Africa (EMEAA) and Greater China. We also hold responsibility for leading all ESG reporting activities and communicating progress to a variety of highly engaged stakeholders.

What we offer you
At IHG we give our colleagues greater flexibility and balance – working in a hybrid way, blending remote and office working. Although we thrive on collaborating in person, we expect that you’re likely to spend time working remotely. Every role is different, and colleagues work with their team and their leader to determine how and when they collaborate in person.
Our mission is to welcome everyone and create inclusive teams where we celebrate difference and encourage colleagues to bring their whole selves to work. IHG Hotels & Resorts provides equal employment opportunities to applicants and employees. We promote a culture of trust, support, and acceptance. Always welcoming different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
