Connect Responsibly with Marriott Bonvoy Events

Gathering responsibly is a foundation of Marriott Bonvoy Events. At our extraordinary properties, your meetings and events are opportunities to drive positive, sustainable change and deliver against your sustainability goals. 

Doing Good In Every Direction

At Marriott International, being a force for good is embedded in our DNA. Driven by the same core value we’ve had since our founding, to Serve Our World, our sustainability and social impact platform Serve 360, guides our efforts to integrate responsible practices throughout our operations and value chain in partnership with our customers, associates and communities.

Your Event. Your Impact.

Today we’re scaling up our efforts to support customers like you, wherever you are on your sustainability journey. 

How? By continuing to offer truly innovative, flexible, and responsible meeting and event solutions, 
while providing the impact metrics associated with your event, and the opportunity to offset the event’s carbon footprint, if desired. 

So, when you choose Marriott, you’re not just choosing a place to connect and create, you can choose to make a contribution to nature. That’s right, we’re making your events more than extraordinary. We can make them climate smart. 

At properties across the globe, you’ll receive a detailed meeting impact report. Plus, you have the option to offset and choose the climate action project your event supports. 

Just one more way we’re here for you.
