ACCOR 
For Pride Month, we sit down for a special podcast with two team members and one external partner who share their experience as Accor reaffirms its commitment to diversity.
With more than 230,000 team members all over the world, diversity is part of who we are. We strive to make sure every single one of our Talents feels they can bring their whole, authentic selves to work, and that all our guests feel welcome at our hotels around the world, regardless of their differences. Our long-standing commitment rides on a proactive approach.

A Long-Standing Commitment
In 2021, LGBTQI+ inclusion was integrated as a new pillar of the Group's Diversity and Inclusion strategy, reaffirming our dedication to this cause, in particular with the launch of a new international collaboration as a Platinum Partner with IGLTA, the International LGBTQI+
Making the transition from words to actions, we've built a Diversity and Inclusion community that meets regularly to share knowledge and best practices on how to roll out our commitment on the ground in every country we are present. Being inclusive is a long-standing approach for us. For instance, Accor has supported the United Nations Global LGBTI Standards of Conduct for Business since 2018.
Fostering a truly open and welcoming mindset is an ongoing initiative. By taking a stance and making diversity a priority and rolling out actionable goals as part of an effective strategy, we are driving our objectives forward and continuing to make it a cornerstone of our company's culture.
