Global Presentation of Barrière Planet

With Barrière Planet, the Group defends a development model that respects people, the environment, and local roots.

Barrière Planet, an ambitious and voluntary approach

The Barrière Spirit is a way of being. Barrière advocates a model of development that respects people, the environment, and local roots. Under the Barrière Planet banner, a world of shared responsibility.

Contributing to invent the world of tomorrow. As part of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), the Barrière Planet strategy embodies a unifying vision. A 360° ethics that considers together the social, economic, and environmental dimensions. It focuses on six themes:

• Governance, sustainable innovation, and dialogue;

• Sustainable customer experience;

• Responsible employer;

• Environment;

• Responsible catering;

• Local development and solidarity.

Each pillar is based on clear objectives and is translated into concrete actions evaluated and redefined throughout the year through 60 indicators, also allowing the relevance of commitments to be assessed.

Because CSR is everyone's business, and change cannot happen without the commitment and mobilization of employees, Barrière Planet has been co-constructed and integrated with all the Group's professions, thanks in particular to the creation of dedicated Committees. In each Barrière establishment, a Sustainable Development Manager acts as an ambassador and accelerator of this corporate dynamic.

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.
