IHG response re use of vulnerable migrant workers as "strike breakers" in California nor to labour rights violations

...

Respecting human rights is an integral part of our global commitment to be a responsible business. We take all allegations concerning labour and human rights issues within our hotels and supply chains seriously.

IHG operates a franchised business model, whereby third parties can own and operate IHG branded properties around the world. We seek to engage owners whose values align with ours. We require owners to operate in compliance with applicable laws and regulation and expect owners to conduct their business in an ethical manner. To assist franchisees in meeting this expectation IHG makes various resources available including human rights training and guidance and is committed to working with and to encourage our owners and franchisees, to prevent, mitigate and address adverse impacts on human rights.
