Hilton is a leading global hospitality company with a portfolio of 17 world-class brands comprising more than 5,600 properties with nearly 913,000 rooms, in 113 countries and territories.
Over the last century, driven by its mission to be the world’s most hospitable company, Hilton has served more than 3 billion guests with the support of 10 million Team Members and contributed $1 trillion in economic impact, an impact dubbed ‘The Hilton Effect’.
As Hilton’s reach and impact continues to grow, so does the awareness and responsibility that it needs to do so in a sustainable way. That’s why in 2018 it launched the “Travel with Purpose 2030 Goals” an ambitious set of targets to drive social and environmental change on a global scale. Through these targets the company has pledged to cut its environmental footprint in half and double social impact investment by 2030.
Since launching the 2030 Goals, Hilton has committed to reduce single-use plastics by banning all plastic straws, cocktail picks and stirrers globally. Its teams around the world have also invested 236,930 hours in social and environmental projects.
Hilton is eager for travellers to join efforts to redefine sustainable travel and tourism. When booking meetings at Hilton, request to “Meet with Purpose”, a meeting concept designed to incorporate sustainable choices into events, by minimizing waste and incorporating health and wellness. Meet with Purpose has a lighter environmental footprint and Hilton hotels can provide a full carbon footprint report upon request, in advance of your bookings. When staying at Hilton hotels, guests are also able to review what that hotel is doing to support the local community and to reduce their environmental footprint – simply scroll through the hotel’s Wifi landing page. You can also review our full Corporate Responsibility report online at cr.hilton.com.
It takes a village to redefine sustainable travel, but as we prepare to celebrate our 100 years anniversary this May, we are fully committed to drive the Hilton Effect into the next century with you; our guests, communities and business partners. Thank you for joining us on this journey to positively change the world.
