2021 SERVE 360 REPORT ESG PROGRESS AT MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL → 26 Global and Regional Environmental Performance On-site Renewable Energy Globally, Marriott properties continued to evaluate opportunities to install on-site renewable energy solutions. For example, in 2020, Ermita, Cartagena, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel installed solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on the hotel’s rooftop, which is expected to generate approximately 146 MWh of electricity. Additionally, The Ritz-Carlton, Turks & Caicos in partnership with FortisTCI, an electricity provider for the Turks and Caicos Islands, commissioned a 210.6 kW solar PV system for the property’s rooftop. The grid-tied rooftop installation is expected to generate approximately 310 MWh of electricity and avoid over 240 tons of CO2 emissions, annually. In late 2020, Riyadh Marriott Hotel launched the installation of a three-phase on-grid PV system designed to convert sunlight directly into electricity. Each of the nearly 1,800 solar panels generates 450 kWh, and is expected to reduce the hotel’s annual CO2 emissions by approximately 89%. To support progress toward our carbon reduction target, in 2019, we introduced energy reduction targets for all managed Marriott properties globally and suggested energy reduction targets for all franchised properties. 2025 Renewable Energy Goal As part of our 2025 Sustainability and Social Impact Goals, Marriott aims to source a minimum of 30% of its overall electricity from renewable energy by 2025. In 2020, we continued evaluating a reporting protocol to track renewable energy to be able to report on our progress annually, and sourced 0.8% of our electricity consumption from renewable energy.
