IHG® Hotels & Resorts is one of the world’s leading hotel companies, with around 325,000 colleagues working across more than 100 countries to deliver True Hospitality for Good. Our diverse portfolio of differentiated brands are well known and loved by millions of consumers around the world. We have the right hotel brand for both our guests and owners, whatever their needs. Our ambition to deliver high-quality, industry-leading net rooms growth is unchanged, driven by continued investment in enhancing our guest and owner offer and developing our brands at scale in high-value markets. Over the long term, with disciplined execution, this drives sustained growth in cash flows and profits, which can be reinvested in our business and returned to shareholders.

What has evolved is how we execute against our strategy, in terms of what we priorities, the behaviors we champion, and the purpose that guides us. Listening to stakeholders, we’ve evaluated what’s most important, not just to IHG’s growth, but how we grow, taking into account all we’ve learnt from dealing with Covid-19 and planning for a strong recovery over time.

Our evolved priorities put our brands at the heart of our business, and our owners and guests at the heart of our thinking. They recognize the crucial role of a sophisticated, well-invested digital approach, and ensure we meet our growing responsibility to care for our people and make a positive difference to our communities and planet.
