incorporated MEET WITH PURPOSE TM , a brand programme which highlights socially responsible ways for planners to improve efficiencies and incorporate well-being into their meetings . The programme ranges from vegan , vegetarian and alcohol-free options to well-being activities organised around meeting schedules , such as teacher-led meditation and Thai-Chi short classes in their garden , complimented by a pond and beach area – a setting totally unique in the Heathrow area , which is also ideal for use as a spring meeting break-up area and aftermeeting leisure space .
As a brand , Hilton has a mission to cut its environmental footprint in half and double its social impact by 2030 with carbon offsetting for meetings and events , part of the TRAVEL with PURPOSE TM proposition . The brand has developed a proprietary awardwinning corporate responsibility management platform , which measures through its Meeting Impact Calculator , a property ’ s consumption data that shows the
estimated carbon , energy , water and waste that will be produced from meetings and events . Each hotel will offset the CO2 emission associated with each event by procuring carbon offset credit from the South Pole Group . It invests in innovative solutions to both mitigate risk and achieve sustainability goals . The hotel , however , has also taken this mission in its own hands , offering meeting and events clients the opportunity to plant trees in their own garden and orchard .
“ Companies want to run events that have a give-back element for the community at large and want their delegates to be part of this , leaving a meaningful legacy after the event is over ,” says Remy Hesdin , commercial director at Hilton London Heathrow Airport .
With the rising popularity of remote working , flexible spaces are here to stay . With this in mind , the hotel champions the use of technologies to offer hybrid events , connecting delegates around the world both physically on location and online , an offer which has become essential for post-Covid modern meeting clients .
Being a well-connected , perfectly placed conference destination with excellent road , underground and rail links , and with plenty of parking facilities , Hilton London Heathrow Airport remains a strong contender when it comes to event personalisation and experience . The hotel has a clear vision for its post-pandemic trajectory : continuing to be an award-winning venue led by its commitment to sustainability , well-being and its recognised first-class service .
