IHG Hotels & Resorts has forged a multi-year partnership with the global NGO Action Against Hunger, underscoring its dedication to addressing food insecurity and hunger that impacts millions worldwide. This collaboration supports Action Against Hunger’s critical work in preventing, detecting, and treating malnutrition in children through its “screen, treat and sustain” programme, which operates across several continents.
The partnership enables IHG to contribute to funding Action Against Hunger’s nutrition programs, focusing particularly on screening initiatives that identify early signs of malnutrition in children. These efforts are vital for ensuring timely and potentially life-saving treatment, facilitated through local community outreach.
In addition to financial support, IHG aims to leverage its vast global guest network to raise awareness and encourage donations. This will be done through the IHG One Rewards points system, which is now operational for this cause.
Elie Maalouf, CEO of IHG Hotels & Resorts, emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating: “Food sits at the heart of our hotels and hospitality, nourishing people and communities, and yet sadly we know it remains in desperately short supply for millions of people, despite enough being produced to feed everyone on the planet. This is a problem the world can solve if societies, organizations, and businesses work together. IHG Hotels & Resorts is proud to partner with Action Against Hunger on their life-saving work, in addition to the many other long-standing partnerships we have with incredible charities in local markets. Collectively, we want to help create lasting change in a world where people are nourished, always welcome, and always respected.”

This initiative is part of IHG’s broader mission to deliver ‘True Hospitality for Good,’ enhancing its existing efforts to strengthen food systems within communities. These efforts include partnerships with local food banks such as No Kid Hungry in the US, OzHarvest in Australia, and Too Good To Go in Europe, all aimed at reducing food waste and redistributing surplus food to those in need.
Earlier this year, IHG also announced a franchise agreement with Hann Philippines, marking the return of the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts brand to the Philippines. The new InterContinental Clark is set to open within a 450-hectare estate in New Clark City, joining over 200 InterContinental Hotels & Resorts worldwide.
