2021 SERVE 360 REPORT ESG PROGRESS AT MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL → 25 2025 Carbon Reduction Goal As part of our 2025 Sustainability and Social Impact Goals, Marriott aims to reduce carbon intensity per square meter of conditioned space by 30% from a 2016 baseline. Due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Marriott surpassed its carbon intensity reduction target. We do not consider this target to be achieved, because most of the emissions reductions occurred due to low occupancy at Marriott hotels in 2020. We will continue to reevaluate our progress, as normal operating conditions return, and continue to implement programs that reduce energy usage at our properties. Marriott’s Engineering Business Leadership Councils and teams, composed of Directors of Engineering and Cluster Engineering Managers for specific geographic markets, meet quarterly to review the company’s performance against the Serve 360 carbon, water, and waste reduction goals. The Councils also support the monitoring of climate-related risks and opportunities. Science-Based Target Marriott is committed to setting a science-based target via the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). In 2021, we will submit a letter to establish our company’s intent to set a science-based target. We are reviewing the 1.5°C Scenario to model and evaluate an emissions reduction target, using the pathway modeled for the Service Buildings sector of the Sectoral Decarbonization Approach (SDA). As part of this evaluation process, we are analyzing baseline data and progress through 2020, to determine the Scope 1 and 2 target and time horizon. Marriott will then determine the parameters that will be needed within Scope 3 emissions tracking and reporting.

This also involves executing targeted strategies across hotels including energy and environmental action plans, signature projects, retro-commissioning, lighting retrofits, and building automation systems. * Data is unavailable .
