Marriot International, Inc,, commits to reduce carbon emissions per square meter of conditioned space by 30% by 2025, from its 2016 baseline year.
Marriott International, Inc. is a leading global hospitality company with over 7,600 properties under 30 brands in 133 countries and territories. Prominent subsidiaries include The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, LLC and Sheraton Hotels and Resorts. The company employs approximately 130,000 people worldwide. It operates extensively in North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa.
EV Charging Global Highlights Marriott’s Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region launched an EV Charging Toolkit to provide hotels with best practices to install and use EV charging stations on-property. At year-end 2022, over 280 EV charging points were available at 90 properties in 19 countries across EMEA.
Expanding Electric Vehicle Charging In 2022, Marriott developed a program to accelerate the installation and adoption of electric vehicle (EV) charging at hotels across the globe. The program includes creating an engaging experience for guests through the Marriott Bonvoy® app and collaborations with EV charging station providers. As of year-end 2022, over 5,500 EV chargers have been installed at Marriott properties worldwide, including nearly 1,700 level 3 fast chargers.
Marriott is also exploring electric options for the vehicles the company operates and has placed orders for a limited number of EVs.
Energy Efficiency The Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel (Toronto, Ontario, Canada), one of the largest hotels in Canada, expects to save over 145,000 kWh of energy per year by installing guest room mirror LED lighting throughout the property.
Analyzing Onsite Renewable Energy Viability To increase renewable energy consumption across the company’s portfolio of properties, Marriott conducted an analysis of a group of properties in the U.S. to determine viability for on-site solar installations.
The first round of this analysis revealed that a large percentage of these properties are expected to generate a positive internal rate of return potential photovoltaics (PV) installations. Marriott also expects to analyze PV viability for select Caribbean and Latin America (CALA) properties, with plans to expand this analysis to other regions over the next three years. Additionally, throughout 2022, nearly 60 Marriott hotels procured renewable electric power across Italy, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Poland.
In 2022, the Aloft® San Juan (San Juan, Puerto Rico) replaced traditional thermostats with smart thermostats throughout the property, which are expected to reduce energy usage costs by 25–35% per year. Between 2021 and 2022, 15 Marriott hotels across the Greater China region installed heat pumps, which are expected to reduce emissions by over 1.8 million kilograms per year.
