The VP Rights & Inclusion is responsible for two complementary agendas: ensuring Accor's operations integrate human rights of all - guests and Heartists alike - and making Accor's hospitality genuinely inclusive and accessible, with a focus on guests.

Inclusive hospitality: Deploy & scale programs making Accor's hospitality accessible and welcoming to all guests (e.g. people with disabilities, LGBTQI+). Support People & Culture teams to ensure DEI commitments including gender equality are reflected in Heartist-facing programs (e.g. talents development programs) and Group-level decisions.
Advocacy & partnerships: Cultivate strategic relationships with peers, NGOs, public institutions, and industry bodies. Represent Accor in relevant forums and working groups and contribute to advocacy efforts on human rights and inclusion topics.
Performance & reporting: Define, track, and steer relevant KPIs in collaboration with brands and regions. Ensure robust reporting and compliance with disclosure requirements and global standards. Communicate progress to internal and external stakeholders.
