This yr, from December 7 to 13, Solidarity Week is as soon as once more mobilizing our employees the world over, and all of the more so given the current situation. A 13th version that is synonymous with generosity and agility.
This time, Sébastien Bazin wanted to ship a message to all Accor employees. He looks again on a yr of team commitment – by teams, he’s especially proud of – and urges them to continue with their efforts to help the most vulnerable. He also recalls the solidarity initiatives launched by the Group for the reason that beginning of the health disaster, such as the ALL Heartist Fund, which helps workers and individual partners in financial distress, and the solidarity platforms (CEDA, COVISAN, and many others.), which have offered healthcare personnel and deprived populations with lodging options in Accor properties.
By means of our generosity, our proximity with native gamers, and our adaptability, Accor Solidarity, working intently with Accor workers, has been capable of meet the disaster head-on and work to attenuate its effect on probably the most susceptible.
At Accor, December is all about commitment and celebration
Solidarity Week is a significant annual event that brings the Group’s Hearts collectively around a single objective: to spread our message of humanity and solidarity via main initiatives. Distributing meals, visiting orphanages, putting on charity lunches as well as clothing collections, donations, and Christmas markets…
On this new edition, working from December 7 to 13, whereas the well-being crisis has in some nations led to the temporary closure of our workplaces and resorts, our workers proceed their solidarity work with even better power. These initiatives are a part of the continued and excellent mobilization of our resorts and homeowners in the latest months, geared toward supporting these most affected by the disaster.
2020: a yr like no other
The Accor Solidarity endowment fund was arranged in 2008 to assist the struggle economic and social exclusion of individuals at risk of poverty by bettering their employability. Whereas its areas of involvement have remained identical in 2020, the groups have evolved to address wants associated with the crisis and the current scenario.
Accor Solidarity was especially cautious to maintain ties with committed Hearts and the Group’s partner NGOs. Why? With the intention to ensure our help for NGOs – a few of which are in nice issue with the crisis – and our willingness to hold out new tasks.
With ALL – Accor Live Limitless, the endowment fund has also partnered with the Institut Pasteur to help research within the struggle against COVID-19. Members of the loyalty program have been able to donate their Reward points via the “Burn for COVID” challenge, collecting more than €360,000 in 2 months. And more than €660,000 has been donated to the Institut Pasteur via contributions from Accor.
Throughout the year, the endowment fund also supported tasks run by Group workers! Accor Solidarity provided them with technical and monetary help to offer them the means to take sensible action on the ground, as shut as possible to beneficiaries, areas, and native communities.
