Marriott's reported carbon emissions
In 2024, Marriott International reported total carbon emissions of approximately 18.4 billion kg CO2e, comprising 1.3 billion kg CO2e from Scope 1, 5.4 billion kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 12.1 billion kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. The company has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline, and to achieve net-zero emissions across its value chain by 2050. Additionally, Marriott targets a 27.5% reduction in absolute Scope 3 emissions within the same timeframe. Marriott has already surpassed its interim goal of a 30% reduction in carbon intensity per square meter of conditioned space since 2016, achieving a 31.47% reduction in its managed portfolio. However, the company notes that much of this reduction was influenced by decreased occupancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company is committed to ensuring that 22% of its suppliers by emissions will have science-based targets by 2028, further enhancing its sustainability efforts. Marriott's long-term goals include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 2050, reflecting its dedication to addressing climate change and promoting sustainable practices within the hospitality industry.
