Accor has solid emissions measurement and targets but is not decarbonising. Total emissions are flat to rising since 2019 despite -28% Scope 3 and -46% Scope 1&2 targets. Supply chain emissions grew 7% over five years. Energy transition stalled at 18% renewable penetration, and net-zero credibility is undermined by backward trajectory.
Accor scores 43/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
That places Accor joint 296th of 847 companies scored, and 5th of 13 in Hospitality / Hotels.

The 3 companies in the sector scoring nearest above Accor.
Premier Inn (parent Whitbread) has SBTi-validated net-zero targets and strong operational emissions cuts (52.5% reduction), but relies on intensity-based interim targets that mask absolute emissions growth from expansion.
See the breakdown →Whitbread discloses comprehensively on climate and water but leans on intensity metrics that mask absolute growth.
See the breakdown →Radisson reports intensity-based carbon reductions and SBTi-validated net zero targets, but discloses no absolute emissions tonnage across its rapidly expanding 40,000-key portfolio, masking whether growth is offsetting per-unit gains.
