🐢🌊 We believe that protecting marine life is not an option. It's a responsibility. Sea turtles are among the most endangered marine species. One major threat? Accidental capture in tropical shrimp fishing nets. There is a solution: Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs), a simple trap door installed in nets that lets turtles escape while keeping the shrimp catch. They can save up to 97% of captured turtles, a small change with a big impact. As a proud WWF-France partner, we support this campaign to make TEDs mandatory for all tropical shrimp imported into the EU. 👉 Be part of the change.

🌊 Protecting our oceans starts on land. At Novotel, we're taking meaningful steps toward more sustainable hospitality — and helping protect the oceans, one action at a time. Over the past few weeks, our teams across the world have mobilized to reaffirm their commitment to ocean preservation and embed sustainability into our daily ways of working. From awareness sessions and plant-forward tastings to local clean-ups, educational activities, and team workshops, many teams took action in their own way — all driven by one shared purpose. It’s a powerful reminder that every action we take on land has an impact on our oceans — from what we eat, to how we travel, to how we work together. At our Accor global headquarters, we also gathered for a series of inspiring conversations, collaborative workshops, and hands-on engagement to drive our commitments further — side by side with our teams and partners. We’re proud of the passion and momentum that’s rising across regions — and confident in the collective journey we’re on to drive real, lasting impact for the oceans. Because sustainability isn’t just a goal — it’s how we work, together. 🤝 Thank you to all teams, partners, and stakeholders who made this global activation possible. #NovotelHotels #NovotelOceans #WWFFrance #Accor WWF-France

UNOC in Nice: accelerating ocean action, together. 🌊 Tuesday in Nice, we joined global leaders at the UN Ocean Conference to advance ocean conservation. Key outcomes included the adoption of the Nice Action Plan for the Ocean, a political declaration backed by voluntary commitments from stakeholders worldwide. We’re proud to support a WWF-backed pledge to protect marine biodiversity by improving tropical shrimps sourcing and encouraging responsible consumption. This includes advocating for stricter import standards to help reduce bycatch and safeguard endangered marine species, such as marine turtles. Accor & Novotel also participated in two vital roundtables on coastal tourism and sustainable fisheries, with Novotel Global Brand President Jean-Yves MINET representing our commitment to a sustainable blue economy. Together, we’re driving real impact for healthier oceans and communities. Read more in our ocean impact report → https://lnkd.in/erAksSjb #NovotelOceans #NovotelHotels #Accor #WWFFrance WWF-France
