AccorHotels Celebrates Plant for Planet's Fifth-year Anniversary in Greater China
雅高酒店集团庆祝大中华区“为地球植树”活动五周年

        为积极响应“为地球植树”活动,雅高酒店集团大中华区在过去五年与中国滋根乡村教育与发展促进会携手,在河北省青龙县开发种植了一片果园。

 

        该果园是植树造林计划的一部分,旨在帮助当地百姓和社区的可持续发展。目前已使超过1200名当地农民和受益者获得机会去了解环境保护、有机耕作和生物多样性的重要意义。

 

        雅高酒店集团大中华区首席运营官莫力Michel Molliet表示:“从这个美丽的果园初建至今,我们已经在此种植了超过53000棵果树。在我们的全球计划中,我们希望通过“为地球植树”活动到2021年底种植超过1千万棵树。”

 

        中国滋根农村可持续发展教育中心副主任张海燕说:“我们很荣幸能和雅高酒店集团携手在青龙县开展植树造林建设项目。这个项目为当地农民创造了就业机会,提高了他们的生活水平。”

 

        雅高酒店集团参与的这项独一无二的植树造林项目——“为地球植树”于2009年启动,以保护生物多样性为宗旨。酒店鼓励客人重复使用毛巾,借此所节约的洗衣费用将划拨给该植树项目。得益于此,全球范围内平均每分钟就会植下一棵树,大中华区每天会植下30棵树。自2009年该项目启动以来,共已种下超过5百万棵树。

As part of Plant for the Planet initiative, AccorHotels Greater China has been working in partnership with Zigen Association for Rural Education and Development to develop a fruit orchard plantation for the past five years at Qinglong County in the province of Hebei.  

 

The development was part of the reforestation scheme to help local grass-roots and communities to supplement their rural income and over 1,200 local farmers and beneficiaries were given the opportunity to learn about the importance of environmental protection, organic farming practices and biodiversity enrichment.

 

Michel Molliet, Chief Operating Officer, AccorHotels Greater China, said, “We have planted over 53,000 fruit trees since the development of this beautiful orchard and part of our global initiative is to plant over 10 million trees by the end of 2021 under Plant for the Planet initiative.”

 

“It's been a great opportunity to have partnered with AccorHotels on the reforestation development in Qinglong County. The project has created jobs for local farmers in the area and improved their standard of living.” Said Haiyan Zhang, Vice President of China Zigen Association for Rural Education and Development.  

 

Plant for the Planet was launched in 2009 in which AccorHotels engaged a unique reforestation project designed to protect biodiversity. The principle is to offer guests the option of reusing their towels and in turn allocating their laundry bills to tree planting projects. A tree is planted every minute around the world and every day, 30 trees are planted across Greater China. More than 5 million trees have been planted since the programme was launched in 2009.
