KIMPTON DIVERSITY COMMITMENT
We, at Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants, are committed to a culture of inclusion. Our vision is one of ongoing success and growth in business in addition to the personal and professional success and growth of each of our employees. We are committed to a culture that acknowledges, understands, accepts, values and celebrates differences among people. This includes differences in personality, lifestyle, work style, education, work experience as well as race, ethnicity, age, religion, physical ability and gender.

We officially launched our Diversity Initiative within Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants in 2003. Although celebrating individuality has always been one of our core values, our diversity efforts will continue to grow and expand with the eventual goal of modeling a company that flourishes with diverse, multi-cultural employees, customers, suppliers and community involvement. Our culture will attract and retain employees whose ideas and strengths are encouraged, have open minds and feel empowered to express themselves with freedom, creativity and joy and who serve our communities and guest in the same way. In essence, our goal is to create a work environment that maximizes each employee's as well as our business potential.

We recognize our vision for diversity will not happen overnight. We have begun by taking small steps to bring our goals to the attention of all employees, from senior management to all hotel and restaurant employees. We have educated and informed our managers and are ensuring awareness with all employees of our diversity vision. We are committed to inclusion for all people from employees, guests, suppliers and community partners.

Our next step for our diversity program is to extend our philosophy on diversity to all aspects of the way we conduct business. This falls under our ongoing commitment to all social responsibility and includes engaging diverse groups of people in all of our external efforts, not only because it is the right thing to do, but because it makes good sense for all of our stakeholders.

I hope that each of us will continue with our own personal growth to open our hearts and minds to the differences and similarities each of us shares. In the end, it can only create a more enriching workplace and greater success for us all.
