The world's largest hotel group has had its carbon reduction plans approved by the world’s main verifier of corporate climate targets. Marriott follows Accor, Hilton, and IHG in having SBTi verify its plans.
Marriott's carbon-reduction plans received a seal of approval from the world’s main verifier of corporate climate targets. The giant hotel operator said Monday that the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) had approved its near-term and long-term science-based targets.
SBTi has a reputation for only accrediting companies that adopt rigorous standards for tracking and disclosing data and that have many serious carbon-mitigation plans. It's a voluntary project organized by several non-profits and the United Nations.
