Our Sustainability Commitments

Accor Sustainability Strategy Building a More Sustainable Business Model The stakes for sustainable transformation are high. Climate change, biodiversity loss and social challenges are shaping our ecosystem and increasingly have an impact on business and growth. The travel and tourism industry represents 9 to 12% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. There is an overriding expectation from all stakeholders - investors, owners, business partners, team members, guests - that businesses need to build more sustainable models and address the environmental and societal challenges the world is facing today. We are convinced that hospitality has an essential role to play in this area, embarking all stakeholders and collaborating across our sector to achieve industry-wide sustainable transformation. And while we have long been committed to limiting the impacts of our activities on both the planet and its inhabitants, we recognize that the hospitality of tomorrow rests on the sustainable business model we build today. We’re going further than ever before in our transformation to fully integrate hospitality as part of the global ecosystem, ensuring that change in all areas of our business is in tune to scientific findings, such as the IPCC relative to climate change, and driving forward our ambition to make a positive contribution to society as a whole, from our hotels’ local economies to our environmental impact, while always putting people and nature at the core of our sustainability strategy. People & Nature at the Heart of our Sustainability Strategy Our strategic vision is clear: we are driving transformation across our Group, working closely with our hotel owners, partners and all stakeholders, and aim to lead change across the hospitality industry. Our objective is to make a positive impact on People and Nature, which are two fundamentals at the core of our sector and activity.
