Inclusive local communities

Hotels play a vital role in the community. They create jobs, a place to stay overnight and experiences, but they also make a positive contribution to community development and to safe and secure neighbourhoods. Pandox wants to help create vibrant, inclusive and safe local communities.

For an inclusive local community

Hotels have a significant role to play in the local community by providing a place to stay for the night, experiences and meetingplaces, and as employers and purchasers of local products and services. Hotels are also a vital part of the tourism industry as they generate income for the government at the national and municipals levels and for the local community. By working closely with the local community and employing people who live in the area, hotels can also contribute in a positive way to social sustainability.

Pandox's targets and outcomes within the focus area of inclusive local communities

Our goal is for all the hotels that we operate and the head office to support at least one local project each, which 18 hotels did in 2024. The projects can range from offering internships to young people with functional disabilities to sponsoring activities for children with cancer. We are proud of the many initiatives that hotels and teams have been involved in during 2024.

The hotel properties also play an important role in creating safe and vibrant city centres. Safety in the vicinity of the hotels can be improved by, for example, lighting up entrances and facades. 19 (20) hotels in the Own Operations segment have lighting at the entrances and 18 (20) hotels have security cameras.
