The international launch of the partnership is set for December 2023 and will feature the launch of the global platform all-captaincause.com, available in both French and English.
Accor’s loyalty programme members, known as ALL, will be able to utilise their reward points to support causes aligned with Accor’s core focus areas: nature and society.
Members can also contribute to humanitarian disaster relief efforts. Throughout 2024, the initiative will expand regionally, introducing support for more causes, and additional languages will be incorporated to enhance accessibility.
Positive impact and member feedback
Since the pilot in France, more than 3 million reward points have already been used to support nine organisations. The feedback from members has been overwhelmingly positive, emphasising the tangible impact of their contributions.
