More Plants, Better Seafood: Novotel Debuts Climate-Conscious Menus at All 600 Hotels

Novotel, part of the Accor Group, is implementing two major climate commitments across its 600 hotels worldwide. The hotel chain aims to make at least a quarter of its dishes meat-free by 2026 and has pledged to remove 350 endangered seafood species from its menus by 2027. In collaboration with WWF France, Novotel is promoting responsible fishing practices and sustainable seafood sourcing to reduce its environmental impact.

The move towards plant-forward menus comes in response to growing concerns about overfishing, pollution, and the impact of the seafood industry on climate change. Novotel's commitment to offering more plant-based options aligns with consumer trends towards sustainable eating habits and a desire for more environmentally friendly food choices. The hotel chain's decision to prioritize plant-based options reflects a broader shift towards sustainable sourcing in the hospitality industry, with other hotel groups also making similar commitments to reducing their meat consumption and promoting plant-based alternatives.
