Travel & Markets: Corp Amman Hotel, managed by Hospitality Management Holding (HMH) is one of the region’s leaders in sustainable operation within the tourism industry. During 2021, the team at Corp Amman Hotel launched a number of impactful and important charity partnerships and environmental initiatives.
In collaboration with King Hussein Cancer Center, its ‘Add JD 1 to your bill to help save a life campaign’ is helping to raise the importance of cancer care, and showing how small, individual donations can make a significant difference. Additionally, the team donated food boxes to the Sa’adat Al Darain Women’s Charity, which supports families and students throughout the city, including the poor and orphans.
The Royal Conservation Society of Jordan has recognized the hotel’s commitment to environmental excellence by awarding it the ‘Green Key’ award for environmental excellence. As part of HMH’s ‘Be Green, Go Green’ initiative, the team undertook the Al Thaqafa Street cleaning project in June, to shine a light on World Environment Day.
Playing their part in supporting the key goal of COP26 – to keep a temperature rise limit of 1.5 degrees within reach, the Corp Amman team also launched their campaign to donate unused clothes for recycling to the Al Dakheel Organization. The fashion industry is considered the second largest polluter in the world and accounts for 10% of humanity’s carbon emissions. In the words of the team at Corp Amman, ‘Every item recycled is a win for the environment.’
To round off the year, Corp Amman launched its Open Medical Day, aimed at supporting the health and well-being of its staff. In collaboration with the National Center for Occupational Health, all employees were eligible for a free diagnostic health check during working hours.
‘I am very proud of the way that the Corp Amman team have dedicated their time and ideas to launch some fantastic community initiatives in 2021. Our contribution to local social campaigns and ensuring that we have a positive impact on people and our environment is very important to us. We look forward to keeping that momentum going in 2022,’ said Ahmad Ebdah, General Manager, Corp Amman Hotel.
