Accor Ahead | Hosting Change for Sustainable Hospitality

 

In today’s hospitality landscape, sustainability is a powerful lever for long-term growth and innovation. In addition to an essential operational requirement, it is a core strategic asset that elevates our business model—driving meaningful impact and creating shared value.

As a global leader in hospitality, Accor sets the benchmark for the future of the industry. Grounded in over 50 years of sustainability progress at Accor, we now reach a pivotal milestone in our journey with the launch of “Hosting Change”, our redefined sustainability roadmap. Fully embedded at the heart of our asset-light model, it is designed to generate shared value across our entire network. " Hosting Change sets measurable commitments for 2030. We have a long way to go, so we are moving forward with determination, concrete targets, a shared structure, and the full commitment of the Group."   Coline Pont Chief Sustainability Officer, Accor

Hosting Change is also a direct expression of our Purpose: Pioneering the art of responsible hospitality, connecting cultures, with heartfelt care. The concept is simple yet profound: we host memorable experiences, and we drive positive change. For our owners and partners, this means a clear pathway to not only meet but exceed sustainability standards, enhancing brand reputation, operational resilience, and financial performance through integrated, impactful initiatives.  EXPLORE THE  ROADMAP

Ensure Future-Proof Places By innovating for efficiency & circularity  Our commitment to building future-proof places centers on creating properties that are environmentally responsible and future-proof. This pillar means advancing decarbonization, energy, water, and waste management, managing supply chain risks, and responsible design guidance.    See how this vision comes to life through innovative solutions, such as the pioneering water stewardship practices demonstrated at Raffles Bali, Indonesia.    WATCH THE VIDEO →

Elevate the Guest Experience  By reinventing the F&B offer We are reinventing the way our guests experience hospitality. We aim to ensure that every stay is not just memorable but also more sustainable, inclusive, and accessible, meeting evolving guest expectations, such as third-party certifications and offering delicious and sustainable food.   Discover this approach in action by exploring the enhanced culinary experiences offered at Sofitel Sanya Leeman Resort in China.   WATCH THE VIDEO →

Engage Broader Ecosystems By providing support to people at risk Our responsibility extends well beyond our hotel walls. This pillar reflects our commitment to engaging suppliers, supporting local communities and their organizations, and helping to protect biodiversity, creating lasting value across the places where we operate.    See how this commitment takes shape at Pullman Paris Montparnasse, France, where local initiatives help strengthen and support the surrounding community.    WATCH THE VIDEO → Tags: Coline Pont Accor
