A "Bright" New World at Marriott Headquarters

Several locations at Marriott International headquarters are brighter because of the newly installed GE LED Lighting solutions.  The installation has enriched lighting quality, heightened employee security and improved energy efficiency.  The corporate lighting update led by Jim Young, vice president of facilities and his team means that the building will now use 860,000 fewer kilowatt hours (kWhs) of electricity and save more than $120,000 in combined energy and maintenance costs a year.

For the second consecutive year, Marriott International scored the highest among hospitality companies on the 2011-12 Climate Counts Scorecard.  Climate Counts is a non-profit campaign that scores companies annually on the basis of their voluntary action to reverse climate change.  Climate Counts uses a 0-to-100 point scale and 22 criteria to determine if companies have:  measured their climate "footprint," reduced their impact on global warming, supported progressive climate legislation and publicly disclosed their climate actions clearly and comprehensively.  While Marriott was given the highest ranking (73 out of 100) in the hospitality sector, the company remains committed to further reduce its environmental impact. [Picture: Huoxi River, Southwest China, part of Marriott International's “Nobility of Nature” program,  which helps protect the source of fresh water for more than 2 billion people in Asia.]

[Photo: Back row, left to right: Leah Martin, Julia Sudds, Trent Marr, Ashley Mlinar, Steve Skelly; Front row, left to right: Amber Cole, Sara Drake.]

The team focused on reducing their use of paper products by implementing a paperless process with Cartus.

As a result of this initiative the invoices are received faster, more efficiently and no fossil fuel is used to transfer the invoices from the hotel to Marriott’s Cartus billing team. 

The decrease in our carbon footprint from such a small process change is a testament to the huge partnership our organizations share.

Marriott LEED®s the Way to Green Hotels

Company Leads Industry with Three Brands Pre-certified LEED.

Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE:MAR) is closer to reaching its goal of 300 LEED-certified hotels by 2015 —now that three of its brands -- Courtyard, TownePlace Suites and Residence Inn – have all earned LEED Volume pre-certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

The Courtyard Scottsdale Pima in Arizona, scheduled to open in early 2012, and the TownePlace Suites Frederick in Maryland, will be the first of their brand categories to be built using Marriott’s LEED Volume pre-certification. Residence Inn projects are under development.

“We live in a world where concerns about the environment and about sustainable development are a necessary and growing consideration for everyone,” says Karim Khalifa, senior vice president of architecture and construction. “Sustainability is an important part of Marriott’s global expansion and our commitment to grow responsibly. The LEED Volume Program plays a vital role in that.”

The Volume Program takes the guess work out of the process for high-volume property developers, such as hotel owners who want to build a LEED-certified hotel, saving them time and money. Volume certification provides a streamlined path to LEED certification for a large group of properties based on a pre-approved prototype and process.

For example, owners who followed the Volume Program for Courtyard –the first hotel brand to become pre-certified in the program -- saved about $100,000 in upfront costs and six months of design time. By saving 25 percent in energy and water consumption, hotels such as the Courtyard Pittsburgh Settlers Ridge should recover their additional investment in five to six years—possibly sooner depending on federal and local government incentives.

According to the USGBC, LEED-certified buildings are designed to lower operating costs and increase asset value; reduce waste sent to landfills; conserve energy and water; be healthier and safer for occupants; and reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. They qualify for tax rebates, zoning allowances and other incentives in hundreds of cities.

Developed by the USGBC, LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at improving performance across the following environmentally-friendly metrics: energy savings, water efficiency, CO2 emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental quality and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

America’s first LEED-certified hotel and conference center flies the Marriott flag – The Marriott Inn and Conference Center University of Maryland University College in Hyattsville. Other notable LEED-certified hotels in the Marriott portfolio are: the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort & Spa, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe and the Fairfield Inn and Suites Baltimore Downtown/Inner Harbor.  To see a complete list of Marriott’s LEED hotels, click here.

Marriott’s Fairfield Inn and SpringHill Suites brands are scheduled to earn the LEED Volume Program certification by the end of 2011.

Building on more than 20 years of energy conservation experience, Marriott is committed to protecting the environment. The company’s Spirit To Preserve® environmental strategy calls for: greening our multi-billion supply chain; further reducing energy and water consumption by 25 percent per available room by 2017; expanding our portfolio of green hotels and buildings and green hotel development tenfold over the next four years; educating and inspiring employees and guests to support the environment; and investing in innovative, large-scale conservation projects worldwide.

Marriott Partners with Other Hotel Companies to Standardize the Industry’s Carbon Measures

Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE:MAR) announced today its collaborative involvement with the International Tourism Partnership (ITP) and the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) on a groundbreaking initiative to unite hotel industry efforts to calculate and communicate carbon impact by agreeing on a standardized methodology and metrics informed by the GHG Protocol standards. For the first time, Marriott along with other hotel industry leaders are collaborating to reach a consensus on a single methodology for calculating carbon footprints and consistent metrics for communicating emissions.
[Photo:  The Courtyard Chevy Chase in Maryland, is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design or LEED Gold certified, uses 100% renewable energy and maintains high energy efficiency and water conservation standards.]

“We are proud to be ‘at the decision-making table’ for this historic effort; it continues our more than 20 year commitment to conservation and preservation, said Tim Sheldon, Marriott’s Global Operations Officer and Co-Chair of the company’s Executive Green Council.  “With the increase in global travel, we have a responsibility to ease our business impact on our natural environment.  Working through this partnership to create consistency in carbon calculation is a major step for the hotel industry and helps to support our sustainable initiatives.”
 
The Carbon Measurement Working Group driven by hospitality members within ITP and WTTC includes along with Marriott, Accor, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Hilton Worldwide, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts, InterContinental Hotels Group, MGM Resorts International, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, Red Carnation Hotel Collection, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc., Premier Inn - Whitbread Group and Wyndham Worldwide. The Phase One methodology has had input from Greenview Consulting and has been reviewed by the World Resources Institute.

The Working Group was formed to address inconsistencies in hotel companies’ approaches and to devise a unified methodology based on available data. Currently, carbon measurement metrics vary widely which can lead to confusion. Additionally, the number of methodologies and tools in use make transparency within the industry difficult to achieve.

David Scowsill, president and CEO of WTTC states, “The hotel industry recognizes its responsibility to mitigate its environmental impact. Indeed many hotel chains globally have set carbon reduction targets. Through this initiative the industry is furthering its commitments to corporate and individual consumers by helping them to understand their environmental footprint. A harmonized approach to quantifying and communicating the sustainability of the industry’s products is a firm step towards accomplishing this. We are delighted to be collaborating with ITP and the hotel executives within this Working Group on this historic initiative.”

Stephen Farrant, director of the ITP, comments: “Customers and investors rightly want to know about the carbon footprint of the hotels they are dealing with. The fact that 12 global companies in the international hotel sector have come together to achieve, for the first time, this degree of consensus on the complex issue of carbon measurement is testament to both the crucial importance of addressing the carbon issue and the success of the ITP and WTTC joint working group through this first phase.”

As part of a multi-phased approach, the group has and will continue to engage a broad cross-section of stakeholders to solicit input and feedback. The objective of the first phase is to have standards available for the 2012 RFP season.

Building on more than 20 years of energy conservation experience, Marriott is committed to protecting the environment.  The company’s Spirit To Preserve® environmental strategy calls for:  greening our multi-billion supply chain; further reducing energy and water consumption by 25 percent per available room by 2017; expanding our portfolio of green hotels and buildings and green hotel development tenfold over the next four years; educating and inspiring employees and guests to support the environment; and investing in innovative, large-scale conservation projects worldwide.
