By combining\u00a0IHG\u2019s\u00a0world-class knowledge and processes, with cutting-edge expertise from Cleveland Clinic,\u00a0Ecolab and Diversey, we can reassure guests and colleagues that\u00a0we\u2019re\u00a0focused on protecting their health and wellbeing. This includes looking at where technology can make a difference, deploying enhanced, highly-visible and more frequent cleaning measures, and different approaches to food and beverage, all underpinned by our new\u00a0IHG Clean Promise.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Enhancing IHG Way of Clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IHG has a long-standing commitment to rigorous cleaning procedures. Launched in 2015, the\u00a0<em>IHG Way of Clean\u00a0<\/em>programme was developed with\u00a0Ecolab\u00a0and\u00a0Diversey,\u00a0both world leaders in hygiene and cleaning technologies and services. This programme is now being expanded with additional COVID-19 protocols and best practices &#8211; many of which are already in place &#8211; to reflect the advice of the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control &amp; Prevention and local public health authorities in markets around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supporting the Wellbeing of Guests and Colleagues<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Enabling the personal wellbeing of guests and colleagues is key. IHG is working closely with a team of medical experts at the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic to develop guidance and resources for hotel teams on returning to work and keeping guests safe in this new environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>IHG Clean Promise and Global Cleanliness Board<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With updated measures in place, IHG is launching a&nbsp;<em>Clean Promise<\/em>. Rolling out globally from&nbsp;1 June 2020, guests can be reassured that their room will meet IHG\u2019s high standards of&nbsp;cleanliness. If not, the hotel will make it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leading this work is IHG\u2019s new Global Cleanliness Board, a group of IHG experts in&nbsp;operations, health, safety and guest experience working with our new external specialists, including James Merlino, Chief Clinical Transformation Officer at Cleveland Clinic, to define solutions, best practice and implement processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While on-property, hotel teams will also appoint&nbsp;<em>Clean Champions&nbsp;<\/em>to continue building the culture of clean instilled in IHG hotels around the world. These champions will focus on guests and colleagues as they navigate the new environment and help on-property teams to consistently deliver these elevated cleanliness standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, please visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ihg.com\/clean\">www.ihg.com\/clean<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IHG enhances guest experience with new cleaning protocols, service standards and partners, and launches a Clean Promise to give guests confidence as they re-establish travel norms.
