Energy & Carbon Addressing Climate Change We recognize climate change to be a critical threat to our planet, our communities, and our business, and we’ve made combatting it a top business priority. We are committed to reducing our Scope 1 and 2 carbon intensity by 61% by 2030. We have reduced our energy use intensity by 26% and our carbon emissions intensity by 36% across our managed hotels since 2008. We are proud to have been the first major hotel company to set science-based carbon targets aligned with climate science and the Paris Climate Agreement, and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
