Our Impact
We are guided by our 3 passions: Conservation, Sustainability and Celebrating Locality.
Conservation:
Our conservation priority is preserving the natural environment and biodiversity for future generations. This includes projects focusing on the protection of endangered species and habitats, and various environmental awareness campaigns.
Sustainability:
Planet21, Accor’s sustainable development program, a guide with quantified goals to achieve, is rolled out at each Mantis property. Our guests are encouraged to make use of our foundation’s carbon reduction calculator to offset carbon emissions from travel.
Community:
Respect for the historic heritage, authentic culture, traditions, and distinctiveness of local communities. Engagement with leaders in local communities to obtain their input and approval for activities in their communities. Support for local businesses. Strong and authentic commitment to empowering the local communities in a way that maintains dignity and avoids, reduces and eliminates dependency. Responsible exit strategies from community projects.
