Planète Barrière, an ambitious and voluntary approach
Reinventing our professions together in the service of an innovative and more responsible customer experience
The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy called “Planète Barrière” structures and integrates environmental and societal issues within the Barrière group’s businesses.
Founded over a century ago, the Group places particular importance on human values and respect for the environment. It aims to offer its customers a high-end experience imbued with conviviality.
This approach is supported by governance and embodied by all the teams. Within the establishments, the Sustainable Development Referents, true conductors, work on the deployment of the CSR strategy through multiple actions and partnerships highlighting the territorial anchoring of the Barrière group. Clients, teams, communities, suppliers, partners… All stakeholders are involved thanks to a constructive and cooperative approach.
The “Planète Barrière” strategy 2025-2027 is based on three pillars: Environment, Social and Governance.

ISO 20121 certification
The Barrière group is the first French hotel group to obtain the international ISO 20121 certification. Issued by AFNOR Certification in 2023 and then in 2026, for a period of 3 years, it attests to the commitment of the Group's establishments and catering activities, as well as the implementation of responsible management systems applied to its event activities (seminars, events, shows).
In addition to these standards, some Barrière establishments have obtained Green Globe certification. Recognized by the World Tourism Organization and the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), this international label was specifically created nearly thirty years ago for travel and tourism professionals by rewarding the efforts and rigor of companies in terms of Sustainable Development. Sustainable Development approach management and leadership, socio-economic commitments, respect for cultural heritage, and environmental preservation are part of the selection criteria.
A strong local rooting
On a daily basis, Barrière establishments assume their role in preserving the local environment, local development, and solidarity, while demonstrating innovation. Attentive to preserving biodiversity, they are involved in waste sorting, recycling, or reuse (circular economy). While ensuring healthy establishments for customers, Barrière invests in the sustainable operation of its buildings and the construction of more environmentally friendly buildings. The challenge is to promote the concept of sustainable tourism.
An economic accelerator in the territories where it is established, Barrière favors local resources for its development. Not only through the enhancement of regional cultures and heritage, but also through a policy of local purchasing. The “Tables Barrière” readily advocate for locavore, with seasonal and local products. Even the honey produced in Barrière establishments. Beyond local products, the teams prioritize food from organic agriculture.
Kindness and Virtuous Behaviors
The approach is based on responsible management and is nourished by a reflection on "better living in the company". Promoting diversity, employing people with disabilities, and involving employees in solidarity actions are several aspects of the daily commitment of employees.
With Planète Barrière, relationships become increasingly transparent. The company's governance ensures loyalty in business and dialogue with stakeholders. Employee involvement is participatory with a consultation initiated around CSR priorities. Concrete initiatives designed together to be implemented in the field.
Barrière's responsibility extends even to casino floors, where Barrière's experience and expertise are mobilized to implement an exemplary Responsible Gaming policy, to take care of its customers and help them prevent the risk of excessive gambling.
