History of the charter

Introduced in 1,500 Group establishments in 1998, this first Accor Hotels Environment Charter was made up of 15 actions to be implemented in the hotels by the end of 2000. The Charter has already included waste management and recycling, control of water and energy consumption, local involvement and employee training and awareness-raising.

The Hotel Environment Charter was adopted since then in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Latin America. Adaptations were done for sub-Saharan Africa and North America. 

The Charter was posted in the hotels that had implemented a minimum of ten actions in favour of the environment.
