Water, Waste and Energy Reduction Program, a CSR Program by Marriott International, Inc.


"One of the corporate social responsibility programs that Marriot International is committed to is to reduce its environmental footprint. Marriott has established a goal to reduce its fuel and water consumption by an additional 25 percent per available room over the next 10 years. One way Marriot International intends to carry out this program is by installing solar power at up to 40 hotels by 2017. Another goal is the expanding of existing “reduce, reuse, recycle” programs already in place in 90 percent of hotels to consistently include guest and meeting rooms, beginning with pilot hotels across all brands in Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and Washington, D.C. For more than 20 years, Marriott has been actively involved in energy conservation through this program. Over the last decade, its hotels worldwide have replaced 450,000 light bulbs with fluorescent lighting, introduced linen reuse programs, and installed 400,000 low-flow showerheads and toilets." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has awarded Marriott with its 2008 Sustained Excellence award.
