Accor has announced that it has achieved 'Leader' status, the highest maturity level, following an independent assessment of its sustainable procurement practices based on the international ISO 20400 standard.

This recognition highlights the integration of sustainability criteria into procurement decisions, supplier relations, and group governance. The assessment particularly emphasizes the robustness of the Supplier Control Plan, deployed from the bidding stage and throughout the duration of contracts to ensure compliance, risk management, and continuous improvement.

The audit also praised the 2026 Sustainable Procurement roadmap, which was deemed clear in its priorities, objectives, and mobilized resources, as well as the distribution of responsibilities between management, sustainable procurement teams, and local teams.

According to the group, this recognition reinforces its positioning in the development of sustainable and low-carbon supply chains within the hospitality sector.

Accor shares rose 0.4% in Paris but remain down by more than 5% since the start of the year.
