All employees + Leadership

"Our commitment to respecting human rights

and combating modern slavery is made clear

to colleagues as soon as they start working for

IHG through the Code of Conduct e-learning

module. In addition to other core topics,

this contains summary information on our

approach to human rights and modern slavery,

including where to go for further details and

guidance. Completion of this training is an

annual requirement for all corporate and central

reservation office employees and all colleagues

in IHG owned and managed hotels. In 2019,

to improve engagement and accessibility,

we added new functionality to our online

learning system so that email reminders are

automatically generated when the module is

required to be completed. As at 31 December

2019, over 68,000 colleagues, including all

our Board and Executive Committee, have

completed the training.

 

Following our human rights impact assessment,

we have been developing our approach to human rights-related training to focus on

those colleagues and parts of our business

where human rights impacts are likely to be

greatest. In 2019 we made available a new,

free training for all IHG-branded hotels and

corporate colleagues called ‘Preventing Human

Trafficking’."

 

Procurement/purchasing

"Raising awareness among our colleagues of

responsible purchasing with procurement

best practice is fundamental to our success. In

2019, we launched an education programme

on responsible procurement to increase

colleagues’ ethical supplier awareness. The

programme has commenced with an education

on what responsible procurement is, including

raising awareness of supply chain risk and the

considerations that colleagues need to be

aware of."

 

"In addition to the suite of materials referenced

above, we have a training session on human

rights, modern slavery and human trafficking

for use by our hotels to provide face-to-face

training to colleagues. All hotels, whether

owned, managed or franchised, can access this

information in multiple languages.

We continue to work closely with colleagues

in operational roles to provide enhanced

training, raise awareness of the available

tools and review operational procedures to

mitigate any identified risks where necessary"
