Roadmap to emissions intensity reduction
Our phased implementation strategy to reduce our emissions begins with operational shifts that require limited resources to implement, followed by investments in high-impact energy efficiency projects. In the next stage, we work toward off-site renewable energy procurement and end-of-life equipment replacement, as well as high-efficiency retrofits and electrification measures. The final phases of the roadmap focus on on-site renewable electricity generation and, as a last step, the purchase of renewable energy certificates (RECs) and carbon offsets for any remaining unavoidable emissions. This waterfall approach enables Hilton to make informed decisions and has helped us chart the path to achieving our emissions intensity reduction goals.

Energy Efficiency

Hilton was the first major hospitality company to set science based targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We are implementing key initiatives to enhance energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and promote renewable energy in our hotels. These efforts not only generate cost savings for our owners but also improve operations for our Team Members.
Water Efficiency & Nature

At Hilton, we recognize the importance of optimizing water use and preserving biodiversity as key components of our commitment to sustainable and responsible operations. We work closely with hotels, suppliers and community partners to enhance water efficiency, improve access to clean water, respect local wildlife and promote ecological balance.
Waste Reduction

Hilton is working to reduce our environmental footprint through innovative waste solutions in our operations and supply chains. In 2023, we exceeded our 2030 waste reduction goal. We continue to invest in technology and best practices to minimize food spoilage, donate leftover food and partner locally to recycle or repurpose food. We are also expanding our efforts to divert waste from landfill through sustainable renovation guidance, recycling and reducing single use plastics.
Source with Purpose
Sourcing for properties in 145+ countries and territories, Hilton Supply Management (HSM) recognizes the importance of creating positive economic, environmental and community impact across our supply chain. We launched our global strategy, Source with Purpose, to advance positive impact across the supply chain through responsible and sustainable procurement.
