In 2022 French multinational hospitality group Accor launched a training session geared to its head office staff that focused on climate issues. Course completion was included as a necessary condition for triggering staff bonus payments. The course achieved almost 100% attendance and completion. Buoyed by this outcome Accor is looking to both expand the training to include more employees and tailor the course to the group’s various business lines.
Since 2022 the Accor group has been working to lowering its carbon emissions by 46% by 2030. To this end it chose to train all its Paris-based head-quartered employees (approx. 5,500) in the causes and impacts of climate change. “To get our teams thinking about the issues and to accelerate the transformation process, we felt it was important to address this cohort first, as it’s at this level that the Group’s policies and strategies are deployed”, explains Fanny Laude, Talent Experience and Digitalisation Director, in charge of the Group’s training and employer branding.
