UAE-headquartered TIME Hotels has received the Best CSR Initiative accolade at the Leaders in Hospitality Awards 2016. The win marks the latest addition to its collection of ‘green’ awards, as the group is recognised once again for its commitment to environmental sustainability and innovative operations.
TIME Hotels is the first hospitality chain in the Middle East to launch a carbon-offsetting programme with 368 tonnes of carbon emissions offset over 12 months from April 2014 to March 2015. As part of its environmental campaign strategy, the chain has also been certified across all its properties by internationally-recognised body, Green Globe, as a sustainability leader in the Middle East, and was also named a 2015 recipient of the Dubai Chamber’s CSR Label Award; the only hospitality company to receive such an acknowledgement.
Mohamed Awadalla, CEO, TIME Hotels, said, “Since its inception, TIME Hotels has had a top down commitment to CSR and sustainability issues. Over the years we have created and launched a range of activities designed to give back to and support communities at a local and now global level. Winning this award is once again vindication of our passion for putting CSR initiatives into the heart of everything we do and demonstrating to our hospitality peers that this is a commitment that needs to be taken seriously across the entire industry, in order ensure that what we do today has a positive impact on the world, not just tomorrow but for future generations.”
Extending its outreach programme beyond the UAE, for the first time, TIME Hotels has also partnered with Etihad Airways on a charity initiative to support the development of three schools for underprivileged children in the remote areas of Kakamega County in western Kenya.
