corporate social responsibility

Mobility Mojo

PREM Group are always working towards a more inclusive environment and take the subject of accessibility for our guests very seriously, especially with the growing demand in the sector. We have teamed up with an award-winning company specialised in providing easy to access information for people requiring special accessibility needs, Mobility Mojo.

Guests can simply browse our hotel’s website and link to the accessibility rating page whereby they can see their ‘standard of accessibly rating’ which ranges from bronze to platinum. This tool is proving very popular as accessibility is an issue for many people from parents travelling with infants in a pram to someone on crutches or using a walking stick. Not only do PREM Group audit their properties for wheelchair accessibility, we also rate other areas including voice announcements in lifts, braille letters on buttons, subtitles on TVs and alarm cords in bedrooms for emergency assistance.

Mercy Efforts for Child Protection Against Trafficking with the Hospitality Sector (MECPATHS)

Human trafficking is a threat to vulnerable children worldwide. According to the most recent global estimate from the International Labour Organisation, close to 21 million people are victims of human trafficking worldwide of which 4.5 million of those victims are trafficked for sexual exploitation. The hotel industry in particular can be seen as offering locations of privacy and can be viewed by traffickers as a place to keep undercover. MECPATHS provide valuable training to hospitality teams to identify the signs of potential trafficking to ensure their guests safety.

PREM Group proudly work with MECPATHS in all of our hotels and serviced apartments, enforcing this valuable in-house training . Further to this our HR team provide a training module for all staff on our in-house e-learning software Eureka. Earlier this year PREM Group were awarded by MECPATHS for their efforts in supporting this cause.
