Whitbread PLC

We have won many awards over the years for all areas of our business, including being ranked in the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work for and Britain's Top Employers. Premier Inn has scooped up the award for Best Leisure and Best Budget Hotel Chain. Each award is the result of the hard work our teams put in on a daily basis to achieve the consistent high quality people have come to expect of our brands.

We believe we have a responsibility to help people live and work well. Our sustainability programme, 'Force for Good' aims to ensure we have a positive impact on all of our stakeholders and the world around us. Split into three pillars; opportunity, community and responsibility, we've made great progress so far and have set long-term strategic targets to continue on our journey.

We know that being a Force for Good is not only the right thing to do, but it makes business sense too. With over 275 years of history we understand the importance of making decisions now that will have a positive impact on the future of our business, our teams, our guests and the world around us. Each year we undertake a robust process to help shape our sustainability strategy, ensuring we focus on tackling the risks and opportunities presented at this time of great social and economic change.In 2020 we took the opportunity to undertake learnings from our stakeholders and from wider sustainability trends to identify the programmes and issues that need our focus.

At Whitbread we believe that embracing difference is not only the right thing, it's the smart thing. Diversity in people creates diversity of thought, and diversity of thought leads to new ways of thinking and doing. So we aren't just accepting of difference, we value it and we welcome it with open arms.
