Sustainability

We are dedicated to integrating enlightened environmental practices and sustainability principles into all aspects of our business strategy. By collaborating with our hotel owners, franchisees, suppliers and business partners, we are actively working to reduce the environmental impact of our hotel operations across all of our brands. Our goals:

• Conserve natural resources
• Minimize waste and pollution
• Enhance indoor environmental quality
• Incorporate eco-conserving materials to a greater extent in construction, furnishings and communication materials
• Raise environmental awareness among our associates, guests and communities

Starwood strongly believes that our efforts to support a healthy environment benefit both our guests and associates. We are especially proud of the recognition that has been bestowed on our newest brand, Element, the first hotel brand that certifies hotels comply with global standards of high-performance eco-sustainable buildings.
