Make an impact: How careers at Accor offer meaningful work and jobs with purpose
Are you looking for a career where your work truly matters, where every day brings the chance to make a positive difference? At Accor, we believe hospitality is more than a job. It’s meaningful work that connects people, communities, and the planet.
Our commitment to sustainability and responsible travel isn’t just a promise to our guests; it’s a core part of the purpose behind every role at Accor. When you join our team, you’re joining a movement to create a better future through hospitality.
Driving change through meaningful work
A recent collaborative study by Accor, Booking.com, and the University of Surrey explored what motivates travellers to adopt sustainable habits.
The findings were clear: travellers want to see real sustainable practices in action, and this inspires them to make responsible choices.
This research reflects the heart of Accor’s approach to careers. We offer jobs with purpose where you’re empowered to play a direct role in creating positive change.
Helping guests adopt sustainable behaviours or driving innovative green initiatives behind the scenes, your contribution is essential to making a meaningful impact.
How you can make a difference with careers at Accor
1. Be part of clear, practical sustainability actions
At Accor, sustainability is about tangible actions that guests and teams can see and participate in.
From reducing energy use to minimizing waste, your role contributes to visible, meaningful change that guests recognize and appreciate.
2. Enhance guest experiences with pleasure and comfort
Sustainability doesn’t mean compromising guest comfort, it means redefining it. You’ll help create stays that are both responsible and enjoyable, whether that’s through eco-friendly amenities, local experiences, or personalized service.
This balance also fosters a workplace where you feel valued and inspired, knowing the care you put into your work makes every guest’s journey special and meaningful.
3. Empower guests and collaborate for a sustainable future
Your role will involve encouraging guests to make informed, empowered choices. Sharing knowledge about local sustainable options or helping guests align their travel with their values is collaborative work that strengthens connections and builds trust.
At Accor, we support you to develop professionally and personally as you guide guests toward responsible travel. This shared mission builds your confidence and shapes a career path rich with purpose and discovery.
4. Foster a culture of responsibility and belonging
Travellers want to feel at home, even when they’re away. At Accor, your authentic self is celebrated as part of our diverse, inclusive family.
By helping create welcoming environments that encourage sustainable habits naturally, you foster a culture of care, trust, and belonging, where everyone’s story and background add value and meaning to the work we do together.
