2021 SERVE 360 REPORT ESG PROGRESS AT MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL → 24 2020 2025 Serve 360 Goals 100% 32% 650 PROPERTIES CERTIFIED TO A RECOGNIZED SUSTAINABILITY STANDARD 245 LEED ® , BREEAM ® , OR ESTIDAMA CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED HOTELS Sustainability Certifications Adaptive Reuse Projects By 2025, we aim to collaborate with owners to develop 250 adaptive reuse projects. Through these projects, we can reuse and breathe new life into existing land or buildings – rather than destroying old sites and rebuilding using new materials. The embodied energy of the existing building reduces the overall carbon footprint compared to constructing that same building from the ground up. As of year-end 2020, Marriott has opened a total of 184 adaptive reuse projects globally since 2016. Design For Health™ Design for Health by MindClick provides owners and their design teams access to MindClick Sustainability Assessment Program for Marriott International rated vendors to support healthy living through design. The program provides access to the environmental and social impact profiles of hundreds of vendors and their products, as well as tools to make healthy design specification a standard practice. Design for Health provides access to MSAP verified ratings covering the entire lifecycle of furniture, fixture equipment and building products. Hotel design teams are able to quickly identify products that best support the health of people and the planet; those made using sustainable materials, free of toxins, a lower carbon footprint, reduced packaging, and operating practices that meet the strictest standards for fair labor and human rights. By 2025, we aim to have 100% of our properties certified to a recognized sustainability certification and 650 LEED®, BREEAM®, or Estidama certified or registered hotels in our portfolio. We also have a target to achieve a minimum of LEED Gold certification for Core & Shell and Interiors at our new global corporate headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, scheduled to be completed summer 2022. Sustainability Certifications Above: Rendering of Marriott’s future headquarters (Bethesda, Maryland, United States) Sustainable Buildings and Adaptive Reuse From hotel design to the guest experience, sustainability is embedded into our business strategy. Our sustainability strategy is driven by a wide range of initiatives that have been fostered throughout our history of putting people first, giving back to communities, and operating more responsibly to Serve Our World . This includes efforts such as creating resource-efficient hotels, purchasing sustainable products, and supporting innovative environmental initiatives. We continue to evaluate opportunities to collaborate with associates, hotel owners, franchisees, suppliers, business partners, customers, and guests to actively reduce the environmental impact and potential business risks through the construction and operation of sustainable hotels.
