Palladium Hotel Group was founded more than 50 years ago with the mission of bringing paradise to travellers. We are extremely lucky to have a magnificent team of expert professionals and to operate in truly awesome locations, something which makes us very much aware of the responsibility we must exercise in our activity.
We are firmly committed to the responsible use of resources and being fully aware of the impact of our activity and preserving the environment, but the “S” for “Social” in CSR is particularly important to us. This is due to our genuine and profound interest in local communities and our team members, on which we aim to have a real and highly positive impact. Because we believe that the future involves taking care of the most important accommodation that there is - our PLANET - and also its guests - the PEOPLE.
How did Palladium Cares start?
We believe it is our obligation to be socially responsible and promote a more sustainable form of tourism. That’s why we created Palladium Cares, the result of numerous social responsibility projects, in order to implement projects and provide support for sustainable development in our society and for future generations.
- We are people working for people.
- We support the well-being and social development of our team members.
- We strive to constantly improve our employees’ quality of life.
- We build trusting relationships with the communities around us.
- We support social projects and activities.
- We contribute to the culture, training and education of local communities.
- Preserving the planet is everyone’s responsibility.
- We support innovation and control mechanisms to drive more sustainable tourism.
- We support global projects to combat climate change.
The Palladium Cares anthem
To end the first year of the "4 Causes to Take Action" campaign, we held an anniversary party in Ibiza and Madrid together with representatives of NGOs, hotel planners and Palladium Hotel Group employees. During the event we created the Palladium Cares anthem together with Musical Thinkers, bringing all the party guests together in a very emotional and unforgettable moment.

The project in which we show our commitment to support the local community
Now is the time to act. Now is the time to show the Palladium Hotel Group team's commitment to the planet, to people and to our local communities. We must take action, here and now.
We are well aware that the best way to help is through expert NGOs who give us the OPPORTUNITY to work with them. Thanks to them we can contribute our time and resources to the causes we have selected in all the cities where Palladium Hotel Group operates.

Corporate volunteering
At Palladium Hotel Group, we believe positive actions start from within. That's why we promote corporate volunteering as a way to engage our team in projects that create tangible change in our communities. Our initiatives provide employees with the opportunity to dedicate their time and talents to meaningful causes. Whether collaborating with local organizations, supporting education in vulnerable communities, or participating in environmental projects, our corporate volunteering demonstrates our commitment to a fairer and more sustainable future.
Centros de Capacitación
At Palladium Hotel Group, we are committed to development and prosperity. We design vocational training centers in Brazil, Mexico, and Jamaica to offer the communities around us the opportunity to train. Through these centers, we pave the way for talented people to gain training and find job opportunities, thus contributing to positive change in the fight against unemployment and poverty.
