Responsible Business - Let's take responsibility!

Taking responsibility for the environment and the local community plays an important role for The Rezidor Hotel Group. All our hotels take part in a dedicated Responsible Business programme. Each hotel has a unique RB Action Plan covering areas such as community outreach, environmental improvement, employee well-being and health and safety.

Why Responsible Business is important to the Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel, Jersey
Preserving the environment has become more important as more species of plants and animals become endangered or extinct. Half of the world's population lives on less than 2 USD per day and, by 2025, it is expected that food production will have to double to be able to feed the growing population. Companies like ours have the resources to make a change... Yes we can!
