For years, the IHG Green Engage program has measured each hotel’s environmental impact. In 2014, InterContinental Genève went a step further by adopting the Green Globe standard. As the closest neighbor hotel to the United Nations, we support the United Nations’ sustainable development objectives.
InterContinental Genève is proud to support the following:
- Through our partnership with MyClimate, we offset the carbon footprint of all meetings and events at no extra cost for our guests
- We aim to reduce the hotel’s carbon footprint as much as possible (e-invoices, less paper, local sources of produce and healthy food)
- We care for our teams with a constant focus on benefits, wellbeing, safety and security, and work-life balance
Social Initiatives
InterContinental Genève is proud to support social initiatives through ongoing actions and partnerships with community organisations. We regularly donate food and sanitary products to Partage, the Geneva food bank. We also recycle solid soap through a partnership with Ensemble, an association that employs people with disabilities to transform soaps into new hygiene products.
Twice a year, staff members collect clothing and bedding for the Red Cross. In addition, we recycle computer equipment through ComputerAid, a non-profit organisation that reconditions and redistributes the equipment to people in developing countries, promoting equal access to technology through sustainable IT solutions.
