RIU Hotels & Resorts has published its Sustainability Report, for the first time in the company’s history. This document sets out the company’s endeavours in 2017 in relation to environmental protection and social action, which constitutes another step on the journey that the hotel chain started in 2012, when its first Corporate Social Responsibility reports were drafted.

With the report’s motto, “Focus on You”, RIU has sought to symbolise its responsibility towards all the people that make it possible, its customers and collaborators, along with its commitment to the environment in which its 92 hotels are located. It is an accessible, highly visual document with a clear style, in harmony with its informative purpose, and it breaks down the internal policies, actions and good practices that have been implemented over the course of 2017, and the resulting data is given in graph form. The ultimate aim is to offer a clear and concise explanation of all the information relating to sustainability that may be of use to the RIU Hotels stakeholders.

In the sustainability report’s opening letter, the CEOs of the company, Carmen and Luis Riu, affirm that, “over the last decade, people and the environment are the two ideas that have been at the heart of the RIU Hotels strategy in relation to corporate social responsibility and that have defined the initiatives we have carried out.” These two areas of action, social and environmental, form the structure of this report in which the company’s collaborators themselves voice the various actions and projects that RIU carries out around the world and in the majority of which the collaborators themselves are the key players.

Hotel directors and staff, heads of corporate departments and collaborators from the various associations with which RIU works guide the reader through this report that marks the start point of a strategy that will, over years to come, focus on commitments to protect childhood and health, reduce poverty, consume responsibly and protect biodiversity and the environment.

This document has a clear informative purpose, as corresponds to any sustainability report, and its ultimate aim is to make public the actions of the company with regard to sustainable development and the company’s capacity to produce economic, social and environmental benefits in the communities where it operates.
