2021 SERVE 360 REPORT ESG PROGRESS AT MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL → 34 Responsible Seafood Marriott remains committed to improving our seafood procurement practices. To support this commitment, we continued to invest in Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) to promote effective management of fisheries. This includes engaging with external partners including WWF to address overexploitation of species and improving bycatch handling training to local fishers. MSAP for FF&E In 2013, Marriott International joined the Hospitality Sustainable Purchasing Consortium, led by MindClick, to create an annual assessment of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) suppliers and their products, now known as MSAP . In 2015, Marriott announced that by 2025, 95% of FF&E products specified for all prototypical brands would need to reach the highest rating in MSAP (Leader). On an annual basis, Marriott’s FF&E suppliers complete rigorous survey-based product evaluations with MindClick-a global leader in environmental and social impact ratings of manufacturers and their products. Every aspect of a product’s life cycle is evaluated based on leading globally accepted standards for environmental and social responsibility. Ratings address healthy materials, manufacturing footprint, carbon emissions, waste reduction, and fair labor and human rights. Reporting and analytics, provided to suppliers, Marriott, and now to design teams through Design for Health, are driving the selection of products and improvement in performance to support the health of people and the planet throughout Marriott’s hotels worldwide.

In 2020, 3,800+ FF&E products were evaluated across the top FF&E product categories. 38% of these products scored in the top tier. 94% of FF&E was purchased from suppliers that reduce, reuse, or recycle packaging* in 2020. * Based on North American suppliers. 2025 Local Sourcing Goal As part of our 2025 Sustainability and Social Impact Goals, Marriott aims to locally source 50% of produce by 2025. Marriott plans to establish companywide local sourcing guidance to begin tracking toward our Serve 360 Goal. In 2020, Marriott hotels continued to buy local products within their regions to support creative and innovative culinary programs. For example, the JW Marriott Cancun Resort & Spa sources local corn from suppliers from the Peninsula de Yucatan region. This not only helps ensure a quality product, but also supports the local economy.
