Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has been described as a ‘global leader’ in certified sustainable practices by Green Globe.

The certification body’s 2015 report on Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts revealed the Swiss hospitality firm has an overall average compliance score of 84 per cent, 2.5 percentage points higher than the average of all Green Globe certified members worldwide (81.5 per cent).

It cements Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts’ position as “the most Green Globe-certified hotel company in the world”, with 63 of its 83 properties worldwide now Green Globe certified.

“Green Globe has certified Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts in 19 countries worldwide. This is a tremendous accomplishment when we consider the variety of countries and cultures, as well as the different types of properties and their diverse markets,” said Guido Bauer, CEO of Green Globe.

The Green Globe report also commended Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts for its “great passion for the development of its employees and supporting local communities”, highlighting SHINE, the group’s global corporate social responsibility programme, which focuses on Environment, Employer and Social Sustainability, with an emphasis on Education.

“In Nepal we collaborate with Right4Children, offering disadvantaged young people intensive vocational and life-skills training, and subsequently offer them job opportunities as part of our SHINE initiative. Around 25 students participate in this programme every year,” explained Jean Gabriel Pérès, president and CEO of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.
