AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS
Volunteer activities in which employees do not necessarily use their professional skills to
support and participate in awareness projects and campaigns.
“
Christmas for Everyone” 2013 Campaign (Global)
The Christmas For Everyone campaign is the Corporate Volunteering initiative with the
longest tradition and most participation of NH Hotel Group. In 2013, the Company asked
employees to collaborate with the International Red Cross working with disadvantaged
groups, identifying the most critical needs in each country. In addition, through its New
Year’s greeting, NH Hotel Group gave customers the opportunity to share their wishes
and participate through solidarity clicks (1 click =
€
1),
raising a total of
€
25,000
for the
reconstruction of the areas affected by the typhoon in the Philippines.
Earth Hour 2013 (Global)
For the fifth consecutive year, NH Hotel Group collaborates with
WWF
in this
global
initiative
.
The Company turned off the façade lighting of 299 of its hotels around the world,

into the atmosphere. In addition, the employees organised a variety of activities to
involve customers in this worldwide campaign against climate change: candlelight dinners,
environmental workshops for children, etc.
