As we continue to build a welcoming workplace for all, in 2021, we officially added LGBTQI+ inclusion as a new pillar to our Diversity, Equity & Inclusion strategy.
Discover testimonials from two team members and one external partner whose actions are at the core of our commitment:
Supporting LGBTQI+ Rights in Travel
Internationally, we collaborate as a platinum partner of IGLTA, the International LGBTQ+ Travel Association. We have also been a supporter of the United Nations Global LGBTI Standards of Conduct for Business LGBTQI+ since 2018.
Ensuring LGBTQI+ Inclusion in the Workplace and Beyond
We are working to ensure every team member in their career at Accor and guests feel welcome, safe and valued through local initiatives.
Accor aims to play a significant role in inclusive tourism for the LGBTQI+ community. Our commitment is reflected in a series of awareness and support initiatives for the community, including roundtable discussions, active participation in events such as pride marches, partnerships with local organizations and associations, and the development of a comprehensive guide on LGBTQI+ diversity for our employees.
Another example of how our commitment translates into real action is the introduction of full parental leave benefits for all couples irrespective of gender, in both our Bangkok office since 2019 and in our Paris headquarters since 2022. Also at our Paris headquarters, team members have launched of the #TOGETHER! community, the Group's first LGBTQI+ Employee Resource Group.Our Teams around the World Share Their Stories
