"The Accor Group trains its workforce in relation to topics related to ethics, human rights, slavery and human trafficking and encourages colleagues to report any instances of potential misconduct or breach of laws, regulations or policies (including via an anonymous whistleblowing platform that was rolled out in Accor Group head offices throughout 2018)."
"Created by the Accor Group, the WATCH program helps country organisations and hotels to put procedures in place to detect cases of Sexual Exploitation of Children in Travel and Tourism (“SECTT”). The programme involves local training initiatives designed to heighten employee vigilance so that they can identify cases of SECTT more effectively, decide when to contact the authorities, and offer the child alternative life paths (via reintegration projects for example). The WATCH program is implemented through a variety of training/awareness-raising tools at the hotels, targeting different groups: General Managers, team leads and partners: films, e-learning modules, training modules for hotel teams, guideline sheets, available in English, Portuguese, French and Thai. Distribution of the complete kit started in late 2014"
"Training on compliance with this process was launched among buyers in 2017. The Accor Group also engage in awareness and education of our leadership team members and conduct risk-based due diligence within its supply chains."
"The Accor Group are working towards its goal of having 100% of the hotels in the Group having implemented the program to fight against child sexual exploitation by 2020. This historic program created by the Accor Group works to train employees to recognise risky situations and react appropriately and to raise awareness of this issue among our guests."
