Belgian round world yachtswoman new Rezidor CSR director
Inge Huijbrechts is Rezidor’s new Director of Responsible Business
The Rezidor Hotel Group has appointed Inge Huijbrechts as new Director Responsible Business.
“We are delighted to welcome Inge Huijbrechts to Rezidor. She brings 15 years of international experience in the areas of Corporate Social Responsibility and Sales and Business Development with her and will further strengthen our dynamic team”, said Kurt Ritter, President & CEO of Rezidor
Inge Huijbrechts is Belgian. Her most recent position was Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Toyota Motor Europe.
Between 2003 and 2006 she sailed around the world in her own yacht, gaining unique experiences in planning, logistics, organisation, and contact and integration with local communities.
“It is impressive to experience that Rezidor’s “Yes I Can!” philosophy makes each of our employees practice Responsible Business in their daily activities – across the board. I look forward to improving the many existing strong initiatives and to introducing them in our numerous new hotels”, commented Huijbrechts.
Rezidor’s award-winning Responsible Business Programme is based on three main pillars: Health & safety for guests and employees; respect for social & ethical issues within the company; and a reduced negative impact on the environment.
Within the programme, hotels save water, energy & waste (half of all Rezidor properties are already eco-labelled), and support local charity projects.
The group also works with the World Childhood Foundation as a corporate charity organisation, and has signed international initiatives such as the UN Global Compact.
In 2010 and 2011, Rezidor was honoured as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by the think-tank Etisphere.
In her new position, Inge Huijbrechts is based at Rezidor’s Head Office in Brussels and reports directly to the President & CEO.
