NEW FRONTIERS IN THE
AMERICAS
This edition of our Social Report is loaded with practices that
renew our disposition to grow and face challenges that stimulate
us to open new frontiers. Our employees have displayed their
commitment to Accor, once again present in the GPTW’s (Great Place
to Work Institute) Great Companies to Work list for Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, Ecuador, Mexico and Peru. With these votes of confidence, we
were granted the Latin America award.
With participation from countries where
Accor operates, we have posted contributions
for the Accor Group to be present for the
second consecutive year, in the list of 25 Best
Multinationals to Work in the World.
On August 27th, the Accor Board
of Directors appointed Sébastien Bazin
President and CEO of the Accor Group. Our
new CEO is adamant about visiting regions
where Accor is present in order to obtain
greater acquaintance with all operations.
Sébastien Bazin visited us in Brazil on
October 30th and 31st, and once again in April of 2014.
With the purpose of carrying greater dynamism and efficiency to
transform Accor into the most valued and best-performing hotel group,
Sébastien Bazin redesigned the operations map, therewith making our
region accountable for Accor Americas and Caribbean. The Group is
now further structured into two complementary poles in order to obtain
improved operational effectiveness and ensure sustainable growth:
HotelServices, a hotel operator and brand franchisor, and HotelInvest,
a hotel owner and investor. In our region, we also hold these two
organizations that work in tandem to build a bigger and stronger Accor.
Relying on our determination, energy and boldness, we work to
make Accor the most valued and top-performing hospitality company
in the world.
We count on our employees’ enthusiasm, determination, pleasure in
providing service, willingness to learn and doing their best daily when
performing their respective functions.
I thank all of those who share the Accor values. Together we will
evolve and move forward. We will establish new frontiers in the Americas.

NEW ACCOR PRESIDENT AND CEO
Sébastien Bazin initiated his
career in Finances in the United
States in 1985. Upon returning to
France, he was appointed Director of
Investments at the Hottinger Rivaud
Finances bank. After two years he
entered the hospitality market when
he assumed the position of CEO at
Immobilière Hôtelière.
In 1997, he joined Colony Capital
where he remained for 15 years.
As of August 27, 2013, Sébastien
Bazin was nominated Accor Group
President and CEO. According to
Sébastien Bazin, Accor strategy,
structure and actions must be
characterized by agility and
accountability.
ACCOR AMERICAS & CARIBBEAN
As of January 2014, the Accor
Americas region has a new
operational structure. Below are
opinions conveyed by some Accor
executives in the region.
Xavier Perret - COO
HotelInvest Americas &
Caribbean
“Part of our mission is
to ensure investment
control, optimizing
their profitability and preserving financial
management’s reliability and quality,
among so many other tasks under our
accountability. Let us get to work and
collaborate with Accor growth in the
region.”
Dominique Colliat
- EVP HotelServices
North & Central
America and
Caribbean
“Our new structure
will allow us to collaborate with the
development of Accor in the region. Let us
jointly build a bridge among the Americas,
treading and developing side by side, with
one region helping the other. Being part of
the Americas is an important objective for
all of us”.
Patrick Mendes EVP HotelServices
Luxury, Upscale
and Midscale
South America
“This new
organization will allow us to
significantly improve in efficiency,
clarity, professionalism and focus.
With diligent commitment from each
brand’s employees we shall continue
to provide our customers with
unique experiences.”
Franck Pruvost –
EVP HotelServices
Economy Pole
South America
“With this new
organization we
may ensure consistency and growth
for all three brands in the ibis
family in the entire South American
continent, which will in turn allow
us to address the 299 hotels in 2019
mission.”
Fernando Viriato
de Medeiros
– SVP Human
Resources
Americas &
Caribbean
“We have started to act in a new
perimeter as Accor expands its
frontiers in the Americas, increasing
professional growth opportunities
for everyone. The sum of our efforts
will result in a stronger company
and even more fulfilled employees.”

INCLUSION PROJECT
With an increased amount of HR practices, the Inclusion Project has become
even better.
Corporate Network for Inclusion
FURTHER
OPPORTUNITIES
Capacity-Building Workshops
Accor has become part of a group that
includes 60 large corporations with the objective
of discussing diversity and placing efforts into
enhancing selection processes. An HR representative
takes part in the network’s monthly meetings.
Unibes Students
Disability Day
On December3rd, International Day
for the Disabled, managers, HR teams,
disabled employees and guests from
the Corporate Network for Inclusion
discussed the inclusion of people with
special needs in the work environment.
Online advisory services
For the more distant units or for
those that face difficulty in hiring the
disabled, Accor has formed a partnership
with specialized online consultants. This
support is free of charge for the units.
At the event, a Guide for Recruiting
and Including Disabled People was
released. This guide was drawn up by a
Diversity Group composed of Operations
and HR team members from multiple
countries where Accor is present.
Colmeia Students visit Accor Head Offices
The partnership with Unibes dates
from 2002, having during this period
empowered various groups working at the
Reception, Housekeeping and F&B areas.
The course model with classes conducted
by Accor volunteers was taken to
Colmeia in 2013, another institution that
offers support to the training of young
people. The Synergy Clubs also conduct
the course in other cities such as Belo
Horizonte and Curitiba.
At Apaf (São Paulo Family Support
Association), volunteer employees
act in the development and training
of chambermaids and housekeepers.
Many of the participants have been
hired by Accor.
5
Support to refugees
Accor has acceded to PARR
(Refugee Support and Relocating
Program), a UN initiative in
partnership with religious entity
Cáritas. Managers who have hired
these employees claim they are
never absent, work diligently and
blend in easily.
New ways of recruiting
INNOVATIVE ACTIONS
Mercure integration trail
A Friend in Need is a Friend
Indeed
As for the ibis family, some HR practices
are concentrated on improved recruitment,
retention and training.
One of the actions is called “Quem
indica amigo é”. An employee, who refers
candidates with an adequate profile,
receives a bonus for every filled position.
A pilot project has been tested
at two units. The trail’s proposition
is that new employees spend their
first five days learning more about
the Accor Group, the Mercure
brand, the hotel they are going
to work at and their respective
function on the job.
To arrive at this project, the HR
area performed internal surveys
with general managers, Mercure
unit heads and benchmarking with
hotels operating in the market.
HR Consultants at the Operations
The HR area yearly takes part in
university fairs including Hospitality,
Gastronomy, Events and Tourism
courses with the purpose of divulging
AccorJobs and seeking qualified
employees.
Managers and representatives from
the Synergy Clubs also take part in
student fairs, conducting lectures at
their respective locations.
In its Facebook page, the HR area
forwards those who have an interest in
the company directly to the AccorJobs
site registry.
Carolina Marques (in pink) is the São Paulo Regional
HR Consultant
Silvana Paiva (white shirt in the center of the group) is the Rio de Janeiro
Regional, Midwest and Brasilia HR Consultant
The pilot project created in 2013
counts with one consultant at the
Rio de Janeiro Regional, Midwest and
Brasilia and another consultant at the
São Paulo Regional.
Both are management-level Accor
employees which, among many other
responsibilities, provide guidance
to hotels in reference to acting in
compliance with Accor HR rules,
norms and policies. They also listen to
base employees, assisting in clarifying
and solving any problem that may
eventually occur.
6
Joint Action in Latin America
Novotel HR Encounter
In October, the Novotel chain
brought together Latin America HR
heads to align practices and projects.
The two-day event received support
from the Académie Accor.
Every other month in Argentina, the Club del Mate holds
an encounter with new employees at the Buenos Aires hotels.
In the picture, employees from the support area and from
the following hotels: Sofitel Buenos Aires, ibis Obelisco,
ibis Congreso, MGallery, Caesar Park and Sofitel la Reserva
Cardales. They take part in a meeting that revolves around
the history of the Accor Group, its mission, vision, values,
development and the region’s growth, further to a guided visit.
Essential CAF Programs
At the Accor AdministrativeFinancial Center, after the admission
process, new employees go through
the Welcome Aboard and Living the
Operation programs.
CAF has also conceived a
multifunctional group including
representatives from all of the areas.
They meet regularly to appraise
ideas and actions for improvement
and mainly issues related to the
organizational atmosphere.

Professional Olympics Mentoring for women
The final trial for the 2nd edition of
the Professional Olympics took place in
São Paulo on November 19th, 2013 with 24
employees from Brazil and another eight
contestants from remaining countries in
the region.
The winners, entitled to participating
in the 2014 Professional Olympics at
Accor head offices in France, were the
following:
•
The WAAG Program (Women
at Accor Generation), Accor Group
global initiative for incentivizing
women leadership positions,
launched the Mentoring for women
in 2013.
Still in its pilot project phase, this
Mentoring is being developed in Brazil
and in Asia. In Brazil, nine managers
will be guided by nine directors
during a year.
Mentoring is supported by the
Académie Accor and does not imply
in a commitment with promotion
but still is doubtlessly a unique
opportunity of career development
for the nine current participants.

ibis family values
In September, General Managers from the
ibis family in Brazil took part in the second
Managerial Encounter of the year to give
sequence to the planning of the 299 Mission
(holding 299 hotels for the brand up to 2019).
The encounter also provided experiencing
the ibis values (Simplicity, Modernity and
Well-Being) further to specific training
for General Managers and Deputy General
Managers. Participants have the mission of
cascading values to their respective teams.
Modernity
Talent-Hunt
Project
The hiring of 42 Trainees, Deputy
Managers and Managers for the
ibis family in 2013 result from the

that started in 2013 includes
one Colombian, a Chilean, an
Argentine and two Peruvians:
(Melina Polo, Andrés Peñaloza,
Natalia Abuhadba, Geraldine
Marin and Janeth Flores). Just
as that which occurs in Brazil,
these trainees shall receive
training at different units of the
brand for these trainees to act
as Deputy General Managers in
the future.
“I started working at Accor
in 2009 as a Receptionist at the
ibis Buenos Aires Obelisco. A
year later, I joined the Trainee
Program, setting out on this
new phase at the ibis Buenos
Aires Congreso. I went through
ibis Mendoza and soon had the
opportunity of wrapping up
the program in Chile, at the ibis
Antofagasta.
At the end of 2011 I was
promoted to Deputy General
Manager to work at the
opening of the ibis Santiago
Providencia. In May 2013, I
received my first opportunity
as General Manager at the
ibis Santiago Estación Central,
where I currently am.
These were years of a great
deal of personal and professional
growth with huge support from
Accor for my development.” –

Exchange for
making progress
Team building in Argentina and in Brazil
In the Novotel chain, once
elected for People with Attitude,
every employee becomes entitled
to running for the Visa Program.
The program allows for a 20day experience in another Novotel
unit in the region. It works as an
exchange program that accelerates
the learning process.
Of the five employees that took
Visa in 2013, two of them switched
countries. Solange Alves dos
Santos, Housekeeper at Novotel
Morumbi moved to Novotel Buenos
Aires. Carolina Rosales, Events
Coordinator at Novotel Santiago
moved to Novotel Center Norte in
São Paulo.

This is the last stage of Move

program at the Novotel chain. It is
an assessment of team development
to help identify in which aspects
department heads must further train
their teams.
In Brazil, the NSB committee
gathered in Goiania for a team-building
activity that started in a kitchen.
D E V E LO P I N G VA L U E S
Change of Habit
With the Click Accor
platform, distance learning has
been consolidated, broadening
everybody’s reach for more
knowledge. Through the balancing
of this resource with physical
presence learning, Académie Accor
has been able to carry courses and
specific training to more people
in distant locations. For such, a
distance learning coordinator is
always on call to clarify eventual
doubts.
At hotels, managers, deputy
managers and heads play a
fundamental part in multiplying
contents. Thus is the participation
from the Académie Accor
Guardian. At each hotel, there
is one dedicated employee who
monitors colleagues’ learning,
reporting results to the Académie
Accor.
“As an
Académie Accor
guardian, and
to make sure
my job is well
performed, I
always take the
courses with
enough time
trying to clarify all doubts
prior to initiating the
training courses. Afterwards,
jointly with the employees,
I schedule the day and
time to give the courses, I
sign in to Click Accor and
personally monitor them,
guiding and assisting those
who have more trouble.” Joyce Elaine Batista, Event

SOFITEL SCHOOL
OF EXCELLENCE
Latin America has been part
of the SOE (School of Excellence)
Program since 2012. The Sofitel
School of Excellence holds
partnership with 15 of the top
hospitality schools in the world.
At the partner schools, SOE
looks for students concluding
their hospitality course to work
as coordinators or supervisors at
a Sofitel hotel somewhere around
the world.

ParticipAccor Expansion
In Brazil, ParticipAccor meetings
turned out 1,156 employees in 15 cities
between March and April of 2013. Yet,
the number of employees who got to
better know and ask more about Accor
was even higher.
Ever since training kits were
created in Portuguese and Spanish,
which in turn spawned multipliers,
Académie Accor has broadened the
ParticipAccor scope. Through general
managers and head office HRs, the
meetings then successfully reached
employees from Latin America. In
Brazil, with collaboration from the
Synergy Clubs, ParticipAccor also
managed to reach employees in
distant locations.
In São Paulo, Roland de Bonadona, CEO HotelServices Americas &
Caribbean, honored the ParticipAccor event at the ibis Congonhas

International Development Program
Four Brazilians are part of the
IHMP (International Hospitality
Management Program) 2013/2014
group, taking the development
program in hotel management,
offered by Accor in Evry, France:
Fábio Turchetto from ibis RJ Santos
Dumont; Beatriz Cavaciocchi from
Novotel Morumbi; Denis Mioli from
Mercure São Caetano do Sul; and
Dennis Vidal from ibis Santiago
Providencia (Chile). They are part of
a group that includes 30 students
arriving from various countries.
Accor is the only hospitality
company in the market to hold a
course of the pool and condominium
management model, this subject highly
adopted by the Mercure chain.
Whoever manages a Mercure hotel
must deal with investors, custodians and
inhabitants, further to rigidly following
work procedures and routines. For such,
general and deputy general managers
drew up the course, dividing its
contents into modules for purposes of
meeting legal and accounting needs.

ibis Scholarships
ibis João Pessoa collaborator at the
library that is starting to emerge
In 2013, the ibis family invested €
23 665 in their employees’ academic
qualification: 76 were benefitted
with scholarships and seven of these
received their college degrees.
Customized English
The Mercure chain signed a contract
with EF Englishtown to provide
customized English course to address
the needs of general managers at the
hotels of that brand. The course is
online, tutored by professionals and with
unlimited conversation classes.
In light of the challenges of hosting a
great deal of foreigners during the World
Soccer Cup, Académie Accor, jointly
with the Operations Directorates and the
brands’ HRs, extended the EF partnership
and launched the Let´s Go...oal! project,
an online training course in English for
employees from the Reception and
Restaurant/Bar areas at host-cities during
the World Cup.
Welcoming Week
Welcoming Week serves the
purpose of hosting employees from
a new unit with a red carpet at the
entrance, indoors decorated with
balloons and warm applause from
the unit managers and a consultant
from the Académie Accor. All of
this is to show how welcome these
newcomers are and to inspire them
with this feeling when welcoming
future guests!
In this action, the training applied
by the Académie Accor contributes
in making all new team members feel
safe and confident when performing
their functions.
After Welcoming Week, new
employees receive technical training
Opening of the ibis Recife
from internal multipliers specialized in
Standard Operational Procedures (SOP)
specific for each sector.
Prior to the opening, they take
part in an Operational Workshop and
spend a night at the unit where they
experience in detail what being a guest
there feels like.
In 2013, there were 21 Welcoming
Weeks, 19 of these in Brazil and two
more in Hispanic countries (Chile and
Panama).
Special training for ibis Styles
The first ibis Styles in the region
was opened in late 2013. Académie
Accor developed a Welcoming Week
for new employees with a carefree,
casual, relaxed mood, as proposed by
the brand for its focus.
Virtual GED (General Education Development)
Accor sponsors 100% of the Virtual
GED at elementary and high school
levels for employees and family
members. This sponsorship includes
course material and enrolment, further
to availability of an online team for
clarifying any doubts.
In 2013, the course had 136
enrolled from 14 units. Of these,
81% were Accor employees. The
remaining 19% were family members
referred to by employees.

The pictures of festive moments
illustrated on this page have been selected
among many registers of employees
throughout the year. They are a tribute to
those who have worked at Accor for many
years; those that have stood out on their
studies or in sports performance; those
who always celebrate team spirit, not only
on special occasions but on an everyday
basis in their activities.

At the head office in São Paulo, the
Future Mommy program congratulates
mothers-to-be and employees’ wives
with a book listing day-to-day events
in a pregnancy. Right after birth,
parents receive a customized album
to include photos and postings of the
child’s first days.
At the units, Baby Showers have
been taking place increasingly
frequently. Colleagues get together
to congratulate the mothers-to-be
(or parents) with gifts for the baby’s

employees may purchase healthier
options for their snack breaks.
Training for safety
Practicing sports is something
constant for Accor employees.
Besides the Accor Soccer
Tournament, athletes stand out in
different sports modalities at many
units. On the photo, three Mercure
RJ Ipanema employees who ran the
Rio de Janeiro International Half
Marathon in August 2013.
Leisure rooms
Spaces destined to

COMMITTED TO THE PLANET
Accor’s sustainable
development program is
structured on seven pillars,
each of which contains three
commitments (resulting
in 21 commitments geared
towards sustainability).
Combined, they serve to
guide everyone’s personal and professional life
favoring life quality in the planet.
Planet 21 Day
From April 22nd to the 26th, Accor celebrated one year of Planet 21,
the sustainable development program based on the following pillars:
Health, Nature, Carbon Print, Innovation, Local, Employment and
Dialogue.
Cleaning up beaches and parks; planting trees and organic vegetable
gardens; recycled waste collection; lectures covering topics such
as health, nutrition and sustainability; outdoor activities; and blood
donating were some of the actions that mobilized employees from the
head office, the CAF and all offices and hotels in Latin America.
Health
• Ensure healthy interiors
• Promote responsible eating
• Prevent diseases
Nature
• Reduce our water use
• Expand waste recycling
• Protect biodiversity

Innovation
• Encourage eco-design
• Promote sustainable building
• Introduce sustainable offers and technologies
Local
• Protect children from abuse
• Support responsible purchasing practices
• Protect ecosystems
Employment
• Support employee growth and skills
• Make diversity an asset
• Improve quality of worklife
Dialoging
• Conduct our business openly and transparently

Charter 21
Charter 21 lists 65
Accor guidelines around
the pillars of the Planet
21 program. It serves as
a guide for each unit to
intensify sustainability
practices and report its
procedures to Accor, via
the intranet.
Employees from Novotel Lima attended
a training course covering the 65 items in

Employees visit Serra da Canastra
From February 21st to the 24th, 2013,
29 members from the Housekeeping
teams from multiple Brazil units,
visited the Serra da Canastra (MG)
where the Plant for the Planet program
is developed.
These employees acted side by
side with the guests, raising their
awareness about reusing towels with
the purpose of reducing water and
energy consumption. Further to the
visit, they also received a gift-voucher
in recognition for the collaboration
they brought to the program.
At each five reutilized towels, a tree
is planted by the Nordesta NGO at
Serra da Canastra. Over 340 thousand
trees have already been planted.
Environmental
Certifications
Technological
Innovations
Sustainability is the highlight at
Accor hotels. An innovative use of
technology increasingly contributes to
environmental preservation and saving
natural resources without affecting
the guests’ comfort. Some of those
differentials are:
• Use of renewable energies (solar
energy and heating pump) to heat
water
• Led bulbs
Earth Hour
On March 23rd, from 8:30 to 9:30
pm, all of the Accor hotels took part
in Earth Hour. This WWF initiative is
a stimulus for everybody to turn off
their lights for 60 minutes on the same
day and at the same time. This serves
as an alert for the preservation of the
planet’s natural resources.
• Photocell system to control lighting
of the corridors
• Refrigerating system that uses a
chiller to produce chilled water
• Open system for measuring
consumption of electric energy
right next to the utility’s power
input
• Water-flow reducers (saving up to
30% in the consumption)
• Re-usage of shower and lavatory
water for the toilet
• Rainwater collectors at some units
to be later used for gardening and
cleaning of the building’s common
areas.

AIDS and preventive actions against
the disease.

consumption.
The campaign incentivized
employees to save up on water and
electric power, not only at the hotel,
but also at their homes.
Communication in
braille
The ibis Larco Miraflores hotel,
awarded in Peru for its actions of
inclusiveness, have adopted braille on
their menus, on room information and

distributed and some wore pink while
others wore the campaign symbol on
the lapels of their uniforms
SOLIDARITY AGENTS
Accor shares its solidarity spirit
with all its employees. The actions
they develop are so many that it
becomes impossible to mention all
of them in one single report. For
that reason, only a few of them are
listed here.
