Sofitel Mumbai BKC now stands as the inaugural recipient of this certification in India, one of only two such certifications globally, among the very best in their category, available worldwide. For our parent company Accor, and for all the hotel brands under the Accor umbrella (including Sofitel Hotels and Resorts), sustainability is at the very core of our business – sustainable transformation is a commitment we take very seriously, and our global mission is to have 100% of all Accor hotels certified in the next few years.
