In view of today’s challenges, be they environmental, societal or economic, and through its responsibilities as owner, investor and operator , with its 25,000 collaborators, its 758 hotels in 26 countries, AccorInvest must be committed and responsible.

As a responsible Group, our ESG policy is cross-sectoral and present throughout our activities : from a more sustainable acquisition and renovation to a more sustainable operation of our sites. Thus, it impacts all activities carried out by Group employees.

Our ESG strategy is based on three pillars, eight commitments and nineteen challenges, and demonstrates the Group’s strong commitment towards sustainable development.

ESG commitments are monitored, measured, and represented throughout the organisation, through three main governance bodies:

An ESG Committee at Board level
A strategy deployment steering committee made up of four members of the Executive Committee and the CEO of AccorInvest
A Taskforce made up of representatives of AccorInvest’s main business lines

In may 2022, we published our first ESG report. With this document, we want to share our ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and to be transparent on our ESG performance. Please find it below.
