In cooperation with stakeholder engagement specialists GlobeScan, ITP has launched a six-month project following the GRI G4 process whereby 200 external stakeholders will engage through online surveys and telephone interviews to deliberate on social and environment issues that concern the hotel sector.
The results will inform an exclusive event in Hong Kong this September where hoteliers can meet and collaborate on these issues with a range of stakeholders. Through the process, hoteliers will be able to connect with industry players to gain first-hand insights into sustainability issues in the region.
Fran Hughes, ITP Director, said, “Stakeholder engagement is essential if a business wants to really understand the key issues and develop an effective corporate responsibility strategy. But stakeholders and hotel companies can sometimes struggle to start what can be difficult conversations on challenging issues. ITP bridges that gap by bringing different groups together in a neutral environment to share learning and work together to develop practical solutions. It’s a win-win for all sides.
To be held on September 27, 2016, this event will provide a platform for sharing the learning of the 2016 stakeholder interviews with a select audience of ITP member hotel groups. Besides, invited non-member companies and stakeholders will also be present including representatives from academic organisations, certification bodies, corporate customers, franchisees, government, industry bodies, sustainable business organisations, investors, owners, suppliers, trade unions and other bodies.
