ACCOR 
A true pioneer committed to building a sustainable hospitality model, Accor has long been championing environmental and social causes and supporting local communities. To ensure global and meaningful change, we constantly innovate and identify new ways to act across our activities and through collective engagement. Our partnership with Captain Cause ? a French mission-driven startup that supports organizations with a social or environmental purpose ? is testament to this ambition. Launched in 2023, this partnership enables our clients to support causes close to their hearts, in line with Accor's commitment and vision.
Supporting Environmental and Social Causes: Empowering Engagement with Captain Cause
Sustainability has never been more top of mind than it is today. We are witnessing a growing desire among clients to support and play a role in environmental and social causes, demonstrating their aspiration to create a more sustainable future. At the same time, they are also seeking more transparency, tangible results, as well as alignment with their values. The all-captaincause.com platform answers these needs by building a bridge between companies and non-profit organizations. Members of ALL - Accor's loyalty program - can easily donate their Reward points to their chosen causes. The points are monetized, and funds distributed to organizations.
With Captain Cause, we are sharing the belief that companies have an important role to play in helping to provide solutions to environmental and social challenges. This initiative represents a powerful lever to involve our customers, by giving them a tangible role in helping to achieve our sustainable transformation, while offering them the chance to make a practical contribution at their own level. A 21st century company must be built on working together and contributing to making a positive impact.
Our customers aspire to a more sustainable future. It is our responsibility to design solutions that meet these changing needs. By offering our ALL members the opportunity to use their points for causes dear to their hearts through our digital platforms, we are redefining how digital can be a positive force for change.
Donating your loyalty points to good causes is a simple, powerful and memorable act. Every ALL member can now do this in just a few clicks using Captain Cause technology and choosing from our selected organizations. We are proud to support Accor as a pioneer of more responsible marketing. I am also delighted that

In the spirit of total transparency, we invite our members to follow the progress of the organizations they support and witness the implementation of their projects.
