New Global Partnership Between Radisson Hotel Group™ and SOS Children's Villages

We are pleased to announce a new global partnership between Radisson Hotel Group™ and SOS Children’s Villages to support the most vulnerable children around the world who have been orphaned, abandoned and are at risk of being left behind.

“As an organization that works in 135 countries, we know that the need is great for the millions of children who are growing up alone. At SOS, our Villages provide orphaned and abandoned children with the supports they need to thrive: a loving home, a mother and siblings, an education and the chance to be a kid again. We are thrilled to partner with Radisson to create brighter futures for children and ensure no child grows up alone. We look forward to working with Radisson hotel owners, general managers and guests across Canada to provide more children with the love, care and security they deserve,” said Dave Greiner, Senior Vice President of SOS Children’s Villages Canada.

Radisson Hotel Group™ is one of the world's largest hotel groups with eight distinctive hotel brands, more than 1,400 hotels in operation and under development around the world. As part of Radisson’s commitment to responsible business, it aims to have each of its 1,100 hotels sponsor at least one child and develop meaningful relationships with SOS Villages worldwide.

“Responsible Business is at the heart of our company’s promise of making every moment matter, which also means that we support and help advance the communities in which we operate. The creation of the Radisson Hotel Group created a unique opportunity for us to align our company’s commitment to a common global cause that truly will help make a difference in the world, especially for our children and youth. Our partnership with SOS will allow us to help provide a home and a better future for the most vulnerable children in the world,” said Federico J. González, President & CEO, The Rezidor Hotel Group and Chairman of the Radisson Hotel Group Global Steering Committee.

“SOS provides to orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable children more than just food and shelter; it provides them a chance to have a family and a future. Together with SOS, we will help transform lives through care, hospitality and compassion,” added John M. Kidd, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Radisson Hospitality Inc.

This collaboration with Radisson Hotel Group™ will allow SOS Children’s Villages to strengthen its work and reach more children who have lost or are at risk of losing parental care. In the near future, the partnership will be connected to Radisson Rewards, the group’s loyalty program, where members can redeem points for donations towards SOS Children’s Villages.
