Travel with Purpose

Travel with Purpose is good for our people, hotels and communities – and it is good for our business.

It is how we are realizing our founding purpose to fill the earth with the light and warmth of hospitality,
driving positive impact and delivering lasting value.

A message from our CEO

In a world that yearns for greater connectivity, harmony and understanding, the transformative power of travel can never be overstated.

Hilton was founded on the belief that hospitality could be a force for good in the world–that through travel, we could all achieve a purpose that is bigger than anyone of us. This is what is at the very core of Travel with Purpose–our strategy todrive a positive impact and deliver lasting value for our people, our hotels and in ourcommunities.

In 2024, nearly half a million Hilton Team Members brought this work to life through their passion for serving our guests and by advancing our commitments to deliver more sustainable stays and invest in more prosperous and resilient communities across the approximately 140 countries and territories we serve.

Creating Career and Entrepreneurial Opportunities

This past year, we were proud to once again be named one of the World’s BestWorkplaces by Great Places to Work andFortune. It’s a testament to our culture and belief that great workplaces fuel great guest experiences.

Throughout the year, we continued to invest in the growth and well being of our Team Members, reaching the halfway point of our goal to deliver 5 million new learning and career development opportunities by 2030. Complementing this important work, we also launched Unlocking Doors, a new initiative to expand hotel ownership for emerging entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds.

Pushing Forward for a More Sustainable Stay

In 2024, our company accelerated action in line with our 2030 goals. In doing so, we introduced turnkey owner programs to help build and operate more efficient and resilient properties including the Water Efficiency Playbook, renewable energy procurement offerings and sustainable design guidelines. Additionally, we expanded our food waste reduction efforts to prevent and divert food waste and re-purpose and donate leftovers.

Making a Difference in Our Communities

At Hilton, we know that every time we open our doors to guests, we’re also opening our doors to the communities where we operate. Through the Hilton Global Foundation, we awarded grants to organizations tackling urgent challenges across sustainability, workforce development, and community resilience. In 2024, our support of local community organizations resulted in 1.6 million meals distributed and 1.5 million pounds of food donated to those impacted by disasters, ensuring our hospitality reached far beyond our hotel walls.

It’s an honor to work alongside the dedicated Hilton Team Members who use the power of hospitality to both make a positive impact in the world and deliver exceptional results for our business. It’s because of them and the remarkable guests and communities we serve, I’m more confident than ever in the future we’re building together.

Thank you for being a part of this journey.
