Accor Sustainability Intern

Accor is a French multinational hotel management company, based in Paris, France. Under Accor are brands such as: Fairmont, ibis, Novotel, and Sofitel. In 2019, Accor made a commitment that all their properties will eliminate single use plastic in the guest experience. I joined this summer to help with the last stretch to reach this by end of 2022. Accor’s focus on achieving this goal was not only to replace single use plastics with another single use item, but to eliminate what they could, find re-usable items, and finally, to find more sustainable materials for the remaining single-use items.
