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.
