Accor SA

Accor SA, a French hotel and restaurant services company, has demonstrated a commitment to reducing its carbon footprint.

In 2023, Accor SA reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of approximately 7.99 billion kg CO2e. This includes about 645 million kg CO2e from Scope 1, approximately 2.76 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2 (market-based), and roughly 4.59 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. Looking forward to 2024, the company projects total emissions of about 7.40 billion kg CO2e, comprising around 695 million kg CO2e (Scope 1), approximately 2.79 billion kg CO2e (Scope 2 market-based), and roughly 3.92 billion kg CO2e (Scope 3). For 2025, Accor SA anticipates total emissions of about 7.50 billion kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at approximately 690 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) at roughly 2.77 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at about 4.04 billion kg CO2e.

Accor SA has set ambitious near-term targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46% by 2030, using a 2019 base year. Additionally, Accor SA commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services, fuel and energy-related activities, and franchises by 28% over the same timeframe. The company has also committed to contribute to planetary carbon neutrality by 2050, in line with the Paris Agreement.

The company's reduction efforts for Scope 1 and 2 emissions between 2019 and 2021 were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to a decline in operations and associated emissions. Accor SA is deploying various measures to achieve its targets, including improving onsite gas and fuel efficiency, electrification, energy efficiency, and utilising both onsite and offsite renewable energy sources.
