Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts is committed to building upon our Company’s strong history of supporting our communities and the environment. Through our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) program, Four Seasons for Good, we seek to preserve and regenerate the beautiful places in which we operate, and leave a positive, enduring impact on our communities. Our Four Seasons for Good program is centered around two pillars: Planet (environmental impact) and People (social impact). Each pillar is supported by specific activities and objectives, with a close eye to how our efforts will contribute to the achievement of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At Four Seasons, we’ve always been guided by the Golden Rule – to treat others how we want to be treated. Showing our planet and the communities around us the same level of love and kindness is part of this commitment. Our desire to create a positive impact through every action, every day, is driven by our genuine heart – because we don’t just want to be the best in the world, we need to be the best for the world. It’s in our nature to do good in exceptional ways. This is Four Seasons for Good. Our company was founded in 1960 by Isadore Sharp, a young Canadian architect who believed in only operating medium-sized hotels of exceptional quality with an objective to be the best. As Isadore expanded the company into what soon became one of the world’s leading luxury hospitality brands, he never lost sight of his guiding principle of the Golden Rule – the simple idea that we should treat others the way we would want to be treated. Today, Isadore Sharp’s vision remains deeply embedded in our company’s culture and provides the foundation for our ESG programs. Our aspiration is to leave the world better than we found it. We don’t just want to be the best in the world, we need to be the best for the world. That’s why we’re focused on protecting and regenerating the planet with love and care, working toward a future in which the only impact we have is for good. In the development and operation of Four Seasons properties, we aim to minimize the environmental footprint of initial construction, integrate well-being and maximize the efficiency of our operations over time. All Four Seasons design and construction projects are required to have sustainability consultants on staff, focused on integrating sustainability into our facilities, building systems and landscape designs. Our managed properties around the world use a range of strategies to enhance overall building performance, from capturing water runoff for irrigation use to recovering waste heat so as to reduce the energy needed for hot water. We seek to protect and regenerate the planet by minimizing our footprint. As we procure low-impact products, increase our operational efficiency and recycle resources ranging from cotton to food waste, we’re working to use less while creating even more meaningful experiences for our guests.
