The total for 2024 is approximately 6,630,455,000 kg CO2e.

In 2023, total Scope 1 emissions were approximately 489,016,000 kg CO2e, Scope 2 (market-based) emissions were approximately 2,081,095,000 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions, including franchises at approximately 4,200,000,000 kg CO2e, business travel at approximately 22,578,000 kg CO2e, and waste generated in operations at approximately 96,013,000 kg CO2e.

Hilton has set ambitious targets, including a commitment to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year, and to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from franchises by 27.5% within the same timeframe. This aligns with keeping global warming to 1.5°C. The company also aims to reduce Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions from managed hotels by 75% by 2030 and to work with franchisees to reduce Scope 3 carbon emissions from franchised hotels by 56%. These targets are approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
