AccorHotels has been awarded “CSR Excellence Case in Best Green Operation” for Planet 21 at the Invest in Green Future CSR and Innovation 2016 Shanghai Summit.
“We are proud to be recognised for our efforts and commitments in sustainable development under Planet 21,” says Michel Molliet, COO, AccorHotels Greater China.
“Today, travellers are in favour of hotels that are committed to sustainable development. Since the programme’s inception five years ago, it has delivered two-thirds of its 21 objectives with over 90 percent of our hotels embarking on a continuous-improvement drive. Our vision is to drive the change towards positive, more socially responsible and innovative hospitality.”
In the Greater China region, AccorHotels has made significant progress in reducing water consumption by 3.1 percent per hotel guest and lowering energy consumption by 6.7 percent per available room since the Planet 21 programme was launched.
