This initiative is part of Accor’s wider F&B transformation across all brands and regions.
Plant Forward responds to shifting consumer expectations and the rise of balanced, flexible eating now mainstream among Gen Z and Millennials.
It reflects modern lifestyles, offering greater choice and satisfaction while meeting guests where they are today.
Plant-Forward is a modern culinary approach that puts plants first, while still including animal proteins in smaller, more sustainable amounts. It is a flexible and inclusive philosophy also called “plant-rich” or “more plant-based,” that encourages healthier and more sustainable choices, while appealing to a wide range of dietary preferences including vegan, vegetarian and flexitarian.
The EcoSure Training Platform is the central hub for Plant-Forward cuisine learning across our hotels. This section provides a simple, step-by-step guide to help teams get started covering how to access the platform, navigate its key features, and efficiently enroll both managers and learners to ensure consistent training and compliance across the organisation.
