Inspired by the connections we make through global travel, Hilton practices hospitality in more sustainable and impactful ways than ever before. Our strategy is called Travel with Purpose, and our aim is to drive responsible travel and tourism globally. A key element of Travel with Purpose is Meet with Purpose, a program launched to help empower customers to select more sustainable options while enhancing the attendee experience and positively impacting the communities where they gather. In addition, Meet with Purpose supports hotel efforts to drive progress in reducing energy and water usage, and waste generation.
The Hilton Meet with Purpose Checklist can help you make decisions to gather more sustainably and lower the environmental impact of your meeting or event. Our Meet with Purpose offerings and our Meet with Purpose Checklist allow clients to:
Based on your Meeting Impact Calculator report, Hilton can neutralize the CO2 emissions on your behalf by securing carbon credits with ClimeCo that go towards carbon reduction projects. This option is provided in select hotels.
Food donation practices are available at hundreds of participating Hilton hotels globally, feeding more than 160,000 people each year. Reach out to your Hilton Worldwide Sales representative or hotel contact to create sustainable menus and incorporate food donation into your program.
Incorporate volunteer activities into meetings and events and leave the community better because you were there. With our Community Impact and Volunteering Guide we help you include volunteer activations that align to your environmental and goals while building camaraderie during your meetings and events.
LightStay is Hilton’s industry-leading platform that allows every hotel to measure and manage their carbon, waste, water, energy, and other environmental performance factors. LightStay reporting offers a snapshot of Hilton’s environmental and social impact globally at both the property level and company-wide.
Hilton has been named a Global Industry Leader on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for eight consecutive years.
Our LightStay Meeting Impact Calculator report generates a customized estimate of your event’s environmental impact, using the hotel’s consumption data to project the total carbon emissions, energy use, water, and waste for your event.
The customized forecast is created pre-event and provides you with suggestions to reduce your event’s projected carbon footprint. The post-event report provides an itemized measurement of the event’s overall impact.
