SHINE

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is the largest hotel group to commit to Green Globe Certification for its properties worldwide as part of its company-wide goal to establish a common and global approach to environmental, employer and social sustainability. Since partnering with Green Globe - the world’s leading certification body for sustainable practices in the hospitality industry – we have set international benchmarks. Not only have we been named the world’s most Green Globe certified hotel group, but more than 50% of our qualified hotels and resorts have achieved Green Globe’s Gold Status, which recognises properties that have been compliant for five years or more.

As part of our commitment to Social Sustainability, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has established a long-term partnership with Right4Children, a Nepal-based NGO that helps provide disadvantaged youngsters with access to education and job opportunities.

Since 2009, we have run the highly-successful Mövenpick Hospitality Programme, with 132 youngsters completing one of three six-month training courses covering Housekeeping, Culinary Services (chefs) and Food and Beverage Services (waiters). Of those graduates, 85% have secured job placements at a Mövenpick property in the Middle East (Dubai, Jordan and Doha), while others have gained employment in the local hospitality industry.     

The wider impact of this programme is just as significant, with more than 650 family members of course participants benefiting from the outcome of their training in terms of gainful employment with regular income.

Mövenpick’s partnership with Right4Children is part of SHINE, our global corporate social responsibility programme.

At Mövenpick, we believe that even the smallest act can make the biggest difference. From tree planting and recycling projects to supporting local charitable institutions or small businesses within our local communities, we strive to positively impact the destinations in which we operate in. Our teams around the world are constantly introducing best practices and innovative activities that promote sustainability. This is just a small sample of the enormous amount of good work carried out by our management team and colleagues.
