Marriott's reported carbon emissions

Marriott International, a global hotel company headquartered in the US, has set ambitious targets for reducing its carbon footprint. For the reporting year 2025, Marriott reported total emissions of approximately 19.5 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 1.27 billion kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions (market-based) of approximately 5.36 billion kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions totalling around 12.45 billion kg CO2e. Marriott's climate commitments include a near-term goal to reduce carbon intensity per square metre of conditioned space by 30% by 2025, using a 2016 baseline. They have also set a long-term goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain by 2050. Furthermore, Marriott has committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with near-term targets to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 46.2% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. They also aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from specific categories (fuel and energy-related activities, waste generated in operations, employee commuting, and franchises) by 27.5% within the same timeframe. For the long term, Marriott commits to reducing absolute Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050, also from a 2019 base year. They are also working towards having 22% of their suppliers, by emissions, covering purchased goods and services, capital goods, and upstream transportation and distribution, set their own science-based targets by 2028.
