Embedding sustainability across our organization has been a key driver in enhancing our positive contributions and integral to the success we've achieved so far. As we assess our ambitious KPIs aimed at fostering a more responsible model of tourism, our Iberostar Wave of Change hub and sustainable operations teams, along with specialists from across the organization, came together to explore ways to amplify our efforts. Every employee plays a role in this journey, and this was evident in the breadth of experts present at our meeting at Iberostar Selection Cancun. Our transversal approach not only enables us to achieve scale within the organization, but also streamlines processes, enhances efficiencies, and strengthens the business case for why we are committed to this path. Seeing the benefits of an integrated approach, we are inspired to collaborate and share further, to accelerate our collective progress and drive meaningful industry change. #waveofchange #responsibletourism

Working for a company that has such a strong focus on CSR and ESG initiatives provides me with a tremendous amount of pride and passion. At Accor, we not only talk the talk, but we, collectively and wholeheartedly walk the walk.   Over the last few weeks, I have taken various courses through our internal educational platform, Accor School for Change, which focuses on fundamental and pivotal topics that continue to shape not only our industry, but the entire planet. These certifications focus on various aspects of Sustainability that effect Biodiversity, Climate Change and its impact on Economic Growth and Human Societies.   With tourism being responsible for 9%-12% of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, we at Accor, are strongly committed to reducing our carbon footprint by achieving Carbon Net Zero by 2050 - A significant but incredibly impactful goal.   Should you have any questions regarding Accor or Fairmont Hotels & Resorts's ongoing initiatives, or if you are seeking effective tools and resources such as our carbon calculator, found here: https://lnkd.in/e6-ZSrXb - to better align your meetings and events with sustainable strategies, please do not hesitate to reach out.   #Accor #Fairmont #Sustainability #CSR #ESG #AccorSchoolForChange #Fairmont #AccorNetZeroCarbonCalculator #Meetings #Events #Conferences #EventProfs Accor Accor- North & Central America Fairmont Hotels & Resorts Fairmont Empress Brune Poirson
