Responsible Business – Let’s take responsibility

Responsible Business hotel in Liége
The Park Inn by Radisson Liége Airport is the only hotel in Liége that is Green Key certified.

Taking responsibility for the environment and local community has been an important component of the Rezidor Hotel Group's broader commitment to sustainable development for many years. In 2001, this commitment was fortified and placed within the scope of a programme called Responsible Business (RB). Each hotel has a unique RB Action Plan covering areas such as community outreach, cultural heritage, employee and children's rights, health and safety, as well as environmental improvements.

This hotel is engaged with local charities, the Rezidor Hotel Group corporate international charity organisation and the World Childhood Foundation. The WCF's mission is to defend the rights of children and promote better living conditions for vulnerable and exploited children all over the world.

Visit the World Childhood Foundation website for more information.
