CIEH Corporate Membership for IHG

The Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH) has announced that InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) is the first organisation to achieve Corporate Membership, which recognises the hotel group for its strong commitment to high standards of environmental health.

IHG is the largest hotel company by number of rooms, with seven internationally recognised brands, and has an informed and forward looking approach to the fundamentals of environmental health such as: food safety and hygiene, health and safety, environmental protection, and sustainable development.

"Organisations seeking corporate membership undergo a very robust and rigorous selection process. The CIEH is looking to award corporate membership to organisations that not only meet internationally recognised standards of environmental health best practice - but exceed them," said Graham Jukes, CIEH chief executive.
