The chain Qubus Hotel (hereafter «Qubus») is one of the largest business hotel chains in Poland.
The first Qubus hotel was opened in Zielona Góra in 1996. Caiano was a shareholder in the Qubus Group already in 2001. From 2007 the Group has been fully owned by Caiano. In total, the Qubus chain now consists of 12 hotels. One of these hotels, Alto Zory, is marketed as a separate concept. All hotels are situated at attractive and good locations. In total the hotels have around 1200 rooms. Ten of the hotels are operated in owned buildings. Qubus also owns attractive properties in Katowice and Poznan.
All the Qubus hotels have conference facilities, from one conference room in Lodz to respectively eleven and twelve conference rooms in Krakow and Legnica. Qubus has high competence and many years of experience in organizing conferences, and the hotels receive good feedback.
Qubus Hotel Holding Sp.z.o.o. and its three subsidiaries are also part of the Caiano Group and share its values. Caiano has always focused on long-term commitment, hard work, sincerity and trust. The vision of Caiano is to create lasting values in a respectable, responsible and good manner.
A sustainable development is a development that meets the needs of the present without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability has three dimensions:
Focus on sustainability is important. Good corporate governance is important. Short term profit may contradict sustainability. We have the will and ability to focus on sustainability and contribute positively through our long term value creation.
Through our business, Caiano has since the beginning worked for sustainable development.
Sustainability and profitability is interconnected. We can not be profitable without also taking care of the people and the environment. We have worked to create lasting values, create positive foot prints and minimize negative impact on the environment and the community we are part of. We have created and developed businesses that contributes to changes developing our community and individuals. For us, this is the core of creating a sustainable development.
We believe that focus on reduced consumption and taking care of assets are some of the most important contributions to a sustainable society. We will continue to create lasting values in a responsible and good way.
The company has a long-term dedication. The company has a principle of maintaining and extending the lifetime of assets as long as possible. Proper maintainance is crucial to secure efficient and good management and gives important environmental gain. The high standard of our hotels are kept through continuous renovations and upgrades.
In Qubus we are of the opinion that environmental, social and governance sustainability and profitability is connected.
We can not be profitable without also running the business in a responsible manner and taking care of the people and the environment. Some of our focus areas are:
Long-term values Qubus has developed an ESG Report for 2021. We want to make it visible and direct the focus on the importance of sustainability in our business and in the report we will describe our work related to this. Sustainability should be in the essence of what we do. We want our customers and business partners to know that we want to be a part of the green shift.
We will continue to do what we are good at, whilst a more visible and increased focus on
sustainability will make us even better.
In the process of developing the company`s first ESG report there has at the same time been made an analysis of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in order to identify which of the 17 goals are most relevant for the company. Qubus has concluded that presently the following UN Sustainable Goals are most relevant.
