| Social Responsibility |
| |
| Today’s business environment is more complex and demanding than ever before.
Commitment to socially responsible behavior is good business — in both the public and private sectors. HW Supply
Management is committed to the promotion of excellence in social responsibility through the development of principles
and the sharing of tools, information, and best practices that will assist in the implementation and continuous improvement
of supply chain management and its professionals. The Institute for Supply Management (ISM) defines social responsibility as
“a framework of measurable corporate policies and procedures and resulting behavior designed to benefit the workplace and,
by extension, the individual, the organization, and the community.” |
|
| Principles of Social Responsibility |
| |
| ISM has identified seven (7) principles of Social Responsibility: |
| |
| |
Community |
| |
Diversity |
| |
Environment |
| |
Ethics |
| |
Financial Responsibility |
| |
Human Rights |
| |
Safety |
|
| Hilton Worldwide (HW) has directed various efforts
at all of these areas, including a Franchise Development Outreach Support Program
aimed at attracting diverse hotel owners, a corporate-wide mentoring program designed
to support the professional development of all diverse team members, and a supplier
diversity program aimed at encouraging minority and women-owned companies to participate
in contracting and subcontracting activities. HW and Supply Management will continue to
grow and strengthen these programs and new ones in our ongoing commitment to our role
as a good corporate citizen. |
