Rotana Corporate Sustainability Report 2014

23 We operate according to a decentralised organisational structure, with General Managers in each hotel and Area Vice Presidents in different regions. The General Manager of each hotel reports directly to the relevant Area Vice Presidents and the company Chief Operating Officer. The Chief Operating Officer of Rotana chairs the Corporate Sustainability Committee, which includes the most senior members of all departments at Rotana. Rotana has a corporate director for EHS in charge of Sustainability, who is supported by an Environment, Health and Safety (EHS)/Sustainability manager or officer in every hotel, and is tasked with incorporating sustainability management into relevant Rotana hotels, reports directly to the hotel General Manager or Executive Assistant Manager and indirectly to the Director of EHS in the head office who also reports to the Chief Operating Officer. An Environment, Health and Safety/Sustainability Committee is established in each Rotana hotel. Senior managers from all departments are represented on the EHS/Sustainability Committee. Other sub-committees, such as Earth champions, colleague welfare committees ensure that broader participation is facilitated between middle management and below. We combine both a top-down and bottom-up approach to ensure maximum engagement in operations and the greatest impact for the group as a whole. * Executive committee acts as the remuneration and compensation committee ** Ethics committee comprises the CFO, Chief Operating Officer and CVP Human resources Organisation Corporate Sustainability Committee Members EHS Hotels Committee Shareholder Board of Directors President & CEO Executive Committee Audit Committee Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer Internal Auditors Ethics Committee Corporate Director of EHS / Sustainability CVP - Engineering CVP - Human Resources CVP - Housekeeping CVP - Marketing CVP - F&B Operations CVP - Materials Management CVP - Information Technology CVP - Front Office CVP - Finance CVP - Projects CVP - Sales CVP - F&B Projects Development CVP - Development Senior Vice President - India Area Vice President Abu Dhabi & Al Ain Hotels General Manager Department Heads EHS Manager / Officer Function Role • Corporate Sustainability Committee (CSC) • Chief Operating Officer (COO) • Chief Executive Officer (CEO) • Corporate EHS/Sustainability Director • Review and approving sustainable goals, objectives, policies and procedures • Provide key decisions on sustainable initiatives/programmes • Circulate information, programmes and policies to our hotels • Ensure a high level of supervision of the hotels relevant department’s sustainable direction and performance • Evaluate the progress made and the challenges faced during the implementation • Area Vice Presidents • Evaluate the progress made and the challenges faced during the implementation • Monitor the relevant area hotels performance • General Manager • EHS Committee • Define and implement Rotana Corporate Sustainability Committee action plans and programmes • Report on performance Region Head office Hotels
