Environment
Working toward a greener, healthier planet
Marriott’s more than twenty-year commitment to environmental preservation starts at the top. An executive-level Green Council sets the company's global strategy and last year partnered with Conservation International, a global conservation organization, to measure the company's carbon footprint. The collaboration included the development of a five-point strategy to reduce and offset Marriott’s global footprint, which was calculated at 3 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually – or 69.5 pounds per available room. This strategy includes:
- Protecting the Rainforest – Carbon Offsets
- Water, Waste & Energy – Reduce Consumption
- Supply Chain – Engage Marriott’s top 40 vendors
- Green Buildings – Expansion of LEED-certified hotels
- Employee & Guest Engagement
