LeadingHôtelières Mission
The mission of LeadingHôtelières Chapter of the HoteliersGuild is to accelerate gender equality in the hotel sector.
Within the overall mission there will be a yearly focus. The focus for Year one (2021) is:
Launching with SDG5 and in particular how flexible working structures can aid female progression in senior roles
LeadingHôtelières Chapter: Code of Ethics
The Ethical Code is designed to reaffirm and promote LeadingHôtelières’ mission and values of inclusion, open dialogue, respect and collaboration, as the change effected through our work is set to benefit all, and not just one section of society. The Code serves as a guideline for all members of this chapter in their practice to introduce and integrate gender equality in the areas of development of tasks, manuals and white papers to be used in the hotel sector and its supply chains, and standards member hoteliers use to set operational and supply chain ethical requirements.
This Code aims to encourage and support members in their decision-making and conduct, guide their collaboration, and provide best ethical practices when they perform their duties both inside and outside their organisation. In this way all play a major role in aligning the commitments to creating a set of tools that foster practices within the hotel sector to accelerate gender equality.
LeadingHôtelières’ goal is to achieve the UN’s SDG5 ‘Gender Equality’ within the hotel industry, the areas in which to implement these being as follows:
Non-discrimination
Workplace Violence & Harassment
Equal Remuneration for Women & Men
Flexibility and Work-life Balance
Parental Leave and Childcare Service & Benefits
Women in Leadership
Inclusive Supply Chain and Economic Inclusion
and a warm welcome to our new members
