Accor Partners Reckitt’s Dettol Pro Solutions

(27 April 2022, 11:35 +07)  Accor has partnered with Reckitt’s Dettol Pro Solutions.

As part of the collaboration, event and meeting spaces within Accor’s properties, such as Novotel, Mercure and Sofitel, will provide employees and guests with complimentary access to Dettol Instant Hand Sanitiser and other hygienically clean products, including Dettol’s 2in1 Hands and Surfaces Wipes and Disinfectant Cleaning Wipes.

As a program member, Accor establishments will be provided with Dettol branded signage to display in meeting and events rooms, entrance points and online to encourage good hand hygiene and assure visitors that the space is protected by Dettol.

Staff will also be provided with science-backed targeted cleaning protocols for high-traffic, high-touch areas such as lift buttons, touchscreens, and door handles.

“With Australians having used Dettol products for over 80 years inside the home, partnering with Accor to assist in protecting its guests when they are in their care, demonstrates both organisations’ commitment to hygiene and germ protection,” said David Rankine, General Manager of Reckitt Health ANZ. “It has been a really tough few years for the hotel industry. We know from our latest research overseas that 80 per cent of people ‘definitely’ expect strict cleaning protocols in four and five star hotels. With Australia’s borders now open to international tourists, guests and team members can feel confident in the strict hygiene measures we are implementing together via the Dettol Pro Solutions program; Accor is well-placed to return to normal operations and capacity levels. We’re very proud to be supporting one of the world’s largest hotel operators with Reckitt’s industry-leading rigour and expertise.”

The partnership with Dettol Pro Solutions marks an evolution in Accor’s cleanliness protocols and standards. As a commitment to its strict hygiene standards, in 2020, Accor deployed the ALLSAFE label, developed with and vetted by Bureau Veritas, a French company that provides industry-leading testing, inspection and certification services for brands. The label represents Accor’s new elevated cleanliness protocols and standards which are audited by the Group's operational experts or third-party auditors.

Sarah Derry, CEO of Accor Pacific, said, “We prioritise all people’s health and wellbeing, and our investment in this partnership with a brand as trusted as Dettol will bring peace of mind to all when working or staying at one of our properties or attending for a meeting or event.”
