Sustainability

At HIP, we specialise in the acquisition of hotels with development potential, which we transform through strategic investment, innovative repositioning and careful conceptualisation. Through collaboration with leading operators and brands, we seek to maximise the value of our assets, deliver exceptional guest experiences and optimise returns.

Sustainability is a key component of our investment strategy, as it contributes to preserving the long-term value of our portfolio and addressing the growing expectations of our stakeholders. Through a strategy fully integrated into our business plan, we generate a positive impact both in refurbishment projects and in the day-to-day operations of our assets. Our priorities focus on energy and water efficiency, circular economy, climate risk management, positive social impact and the strengthening of robust and transparent governance.

Through this commitment to sustainability, we have reached significant milestones that reinforce our position as a leader in responsible investment and ESG practices.

We lead the sustainable transformation of the sector through efficient resource management, the reduction of negative environmental impacts and the generation of social value in our communities

A sustainable management model

Our ESG management model integrates the sustainability strategy into decision-making processes and the operations of our hotels, ensuring the effective implementation of environmental and social objectives under a responsible management approach.

Environmental Performance

HIP is advancing decarbonisation through energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy and more efficient resource management. The modernisation of HVAC systems, the deployment of building control and metering systems, and the replacement with LED lighting have improved energy performance, while photovoltaic installations and 100% renewable electricity supply have enabled a 74% reduction in emissions intensity since 2022. We are also improving water efficiency through advanced metering systems and consumption reduction measures, and strengthening waste management through increased recycling and reduced landfill disposal. These advances are supported by outstanding certifications. 95% of our key assets are BREEAM Very Good/Excellent certified, while 89% have achieved an EPC rating between A and C.

Social Engagement

HIP generates value through a strong relationship with operators, communities and its team. We collaborate with leading operators, aligning strategies and leveraging their sustainability standards to improve performance, while driving local impact through biodiversity and social action initiatives. At corporate level, HIP promotes a people-centred culture focused on talent development and well-being. This approach is supported by a young team and is reinforced by ongoing recognition as a Great Place to Work.

Responsible Management

HIP integrates ESG criteria across its entire governance structure, from Board oversight to the ESG Committee and specialist team, supported by an ESG management system aligned with the ISO 14001 standard. We complement this approach with a robust COSO-based risk management framework, integrating climate risks into investment decisions, while high governance standards are reinforced through ISO 27001 and ISO 37001 certifications. This approach is reflected in international certifications such as GRESB, with a score of 93/100 and a 5-star rating.
