Hospitality
The Women’s Forum announced that AccorHotels partner has been selected by UN Women as one of the 10 champion corporations of the HeForShe
An IMPACT 10x10x10 pilot initiative, the HeForShe international solidarity movement commits to gender parity and equal pay for women and also changing mentality in the hospitality industry by paying special attention to women guests, employees and partners, initiated by UN Women.
10 corporations are partners of this pilot program: Barclays, Koç Holding, McKinsey & Company, PwC, Schneider Electric, Tupperware, Twitter, Unilever, Vodafone and AccorHotels.
Accor's internal gender diversity network (WAAG) was created in 2012, while in January 2015 the Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs) was created, an empowerment program for women, supported by both UN Women and the UN Global Compact.
AccorHotels pledges by the end of 2017 include equal pay and gender parity in management with a target of 35% women hotel managers globally.
Sébastien Bazin, Chairman and CEO of AccorHotels stated about the solidarity movement:
“I am absolutely convinced that women should be free to have fulfilling careers and be given the same opportunities as men. As CEO of AccorHotels, I know that we have the resources and capacity to bring about real change. Our values, our Human Resources policy and the WAAG, our internal diversity network, speak for it.
“Employees, partners and guests, we must all stave off gender-related prejudices, offer a more gender equal remuneration policy, promote more women to managerial positions, ensure that men commit to this change and, through our endowment fund Solidarity Accor, encourage projects that help train and integrate young women in difficulty.”
