About the award
The InterMundial Foundation, together with Tourism&Law and the Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation (CEHAT), announces the sixth edition of the Hotel CSR Award with the objective of distinguishing hotels that carry out outstanding actions aimed at improving their social, economic and environmental environment.
Corporate Social Responsibility is an essential section in all business management. It allows us to control, in a sustainable way, the impact that the company generates on its customers, employees, suppliers, local communities, economy and the environment. The RSC Hotelera Award recognizes this sustainable management of hotels.
This badge was created in 2012 with the objective of recognizing the efforts made by Spanish hotels in the area of Corporate Social Responsibility. This Award is awarded every two years coinciding with the celebration of the Congress of the Spanish Confederation of Hotels and Tourist Accommodation (CEHAT).
