We are deeply committed to continuing to advance meaningful actions to address climate change and enhance water conservation. Since launching our first environmental strategy in 2008, Hyatt has collaborated with hotel owners and operators on our sustainability journey to design and operate more efficient, lower impact hotels.
Managing Carbon Emissions, Energy and Water
We’re committed to climate action and have set science-based targets to reduce our greenhouse gas footprint. Hyatt corporate offices and hotels take a variety of approaches to manage emissions, energy and water, which consider building type and age, climate, layout and local infrastructure, among other factors. Examples of property-specific projects include:
Using Water Wisely
Water is critical to our operations, as well as to our purpose of caring for people. We have robust efforts underway to improve water use efficiency and prioritize its conservation in drought-prone areas. We also are focused on addressing locally specific water risks like scarcity, flooding, and water quality.
Through our global technical standards for new construction and renovations, we engage with hotel owners and developers to integrate water efficiencies and design considerations into new builds and renovation projects based on local water considerations.
Using Data to Drive Performance
We use an online global environmental management tool, Hyatt EcoTrack, to collect and analyze sustainability data from our hotels around the world. The tool provides hotels with dashboards for data analysis and includes suggested projects as well as best practices for further improvements. Data management has been central to Hyatt’s sustainability progress, with energy and water tracking beginning in the early 1990s.
Collaborating With the Hospitality Industry to Drive Impact
The biggest environmental challenges cannot be solved on our own, so we collaborate with organizations and experts across our industry to stay at the forefront of best practices and to contribute to the development of meaningful solutions to climate change.
