Radisson Hotel Group's Responsible Business Initiatives in Madagascar

Think People:

Our commitment to Responsible Business brings us closer to our community and drives social and economic development in Madagascar. Since rebranding to Radisson Hotel Group in 2022, our hotels have been catalysts for positive change through meaningful employment and talent development. We involve our guests in these impactful experiences, fostering a shared commitment to community development.

Think Community:

We actively support our communities by creating opportunities for vulnerable youth. Partnering with various programs, we enhance employability and life skills, enabling a brighter future. Our network of social partners helps us design tailored learning and inclusion opportunities, leading to eventual employment for these young individuals.
