PRINCIPLES GOVERNING THE PREPARATION OF THE NON-FINANCIAL INFORMATION STATEMENT

REPORTING FRAMEWORKS

To prepare the Non-Financial Information Statement, the following global and national principles and standards have been considered:

Act 11/2018 on Non-Financial and Diversity Reporting, published in Official State Gazette number 314, of December 29th, 2018
Consolidated Standards for the preparation of Sustainability Reports of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), core option; following the 2016 edition of the guide
Commitment to the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)

BALANCE AND COMPARABILITY

The purpose of the Report is to publish a balanced, accurate and coherent report of the Group’s performance, linked to the issues relevant to its strategy and to its stakeholders. In this regard, the comparability of data and information regarding previous years is key as a tool for traceability and evolution of such information. This Report, as in previous editions, has been drawn up with the involvement and participation of the heads of business areas and dialogue with each stakeholder group, making it possible to align the reported information with the relevant aspects for the stakeholders and to respond to their expectations. This has involved an internal process of gathering and checking information against indicators and quantitative and qualitative measurement data of the sustainable management of NH Hotel Group.
