​About IHG​
IHG continues to focus on driving inclusion in our US supply chain in support of the People and Community pillars of Journey to Tomorrow. We introduced EPIC (Engaging Partnerships through Inclusion and Collaboration), our Supplier Diversity Program, at the 2022 Americas Investors & Leadership Conference.

We also recognized our diverse suppliers and our ‘EPIC Allies’ – suppliers with a verifiable Supplier Diversity Program who are working with us to identify diverse suppliers in their respective supply chains.
