Ethical Profile

Mixed.

La Quinta Inns & Suites' ethical profile presents a mixed picture, with limited public data. While La Quinta reports no recent material cybersecurity threats, its parent company, Wyndham Hotels, allegedly experienced a past data breach linked to encryption and vulnerability management failures, raising concerns. In ethical sourcing, approximately 85% of contracts reportedly lack robust ethical clauses, though Wyndham directs over 15% of spend to diverse suppliers. Wyndham Hotels has committed to sourcing 100% cage-free eggs by 2025. Environmental disclosures are less comprehensive than peers, lacking data on planet-friendly initiatives. Many areas, including fair pay, also lack sufficient public evidence.
