Diversey’s products and services help Accor meet its sustainability commitments
Our expertise in sustainable business practices, combined with superior products and services, draw customers to partner with us to improve their own sustainability profile.
When one of the world’s preeminent hotel groups set aggressive goals to improve its own sustainability practices, it selected Diversey to help meet those goals. With more than 4,000 hotels worldwide, Accor Hospitality Group is implementing a program designed by Diversey that helps the hotelier meet the 65 objectives of its Environmental Charter, which includes Accor’s Earth Guest policy to improve the well-being of people and the planet.
Accor’s 15 lodging brands span the entire class of hotel spaces, from luxury to economy, with more than half a million guest rooms. Accor has trusted Diversey with providing housekeeping and warewashing products that deliver superior cleaning results at minimal impact on the environment and improved profitability for the hotels.
“Diversey has a long-term commitment to sustainability,” said Serge Charles, director of linen and hotel services, global procurement, Accor. “They proposed solutions that satisfy both our sustainability and hygiene requirements. Working with suppliers that can deliver environmentally sustainable solutions is not a ‘plus’ for Accor, it is a requirement.“

Diversey delivered a mix of products and services to support all Accor hotels worldwide. Among the innovations helping Accor meet its environmental commitments and improve its operational profile are:
Diversey’s innovative, wall mounted Revoflow® dispensing system, for kitchens and on-premise laundries, utilizes light weight, easy to handle containers that are off the floor, helping to ensure a safe and clean workspace. The Revoflow patented cap automatically doses the right mix and quantity of highly concentrated powder and liquid to meet the individual cleaning specifications of each customer.
Divermite™ brand packaging and dispensing systems for the housekeeping departments ensure the correct mix of products, with as much as 97 percent less plastic waste per liter of solution compared to conventional, ready-to-use packaging.
SoftCare® brand foam soap in hotel restrooms deliver superior hand-washing results with two times less plastic waste than the product it replaced.
Up to half of the cleaning chemicals Accor purchases from Diversey are certified as environmentally responsible products. For example, our Pur-Eco™ line is certified by either or both of the independent green product certification organizations in Europe, the European Union Ecolabel system and Nordic Swan.
