Melia Hotels has set ambitious reduction targets. By 2025, the company aims for a 29.4% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared to a 2018 baseline. Furthermore, a long-term goal targets a 71.4% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035, also against the 2018 baseline. These targets are aligned with keeping global warming to 1.5°C and have been set with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). In addition to Scope 1 and 2, Melia Hotels is also committed to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 29.4% by 2025 and 71.4% by 2035 from the same 2018 base year.

Emissions data for 2025 indicate approximately 65 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 2 combined (market-based). Previous years show the following total emissions: approximately 695 million kg CO2e in 2023, approximately 584 million kg CO2e in 2022, approximately 331 million kg CO2e in 2021, and approximately 259 million kg CO2e in 2020.
