Hilton was founded more than 100 years ago on the belief that travel could make the world a better place. This belief continues to guide us today, inspiring the ways in which we create environmental and social progress while continuing to deliver our signature hospitality around the world. In 2022, we continued advancing our Travel with Purpose strategy and our 2030 Goals—but we also saw an opportunity to raise the bar based on rigorous analysis and the latest information available. We introduced new, more ambitious environmental and social goals which are laser-focused on paving the way to a net-zero future and creating an engine of opportunity in the communities where we live, work and travel. Those ambitions come to life across our business and are integrated in everything we do, from sustainable operations to responsible sourcing and inclusive hiring practices.As climate science has evolved, our environmental goals and approach have, too. Driven by data, we are leading the industry with ambitious 2030 targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on our journey toward reducing emissions across our entire global portfolio while creating greater operating efficiencies. In partnership with our owners, we reduced single-use plastic amenities in our hotels, expanded our replacement of traditional light bulbs with more energy-efficient LEDs, offered guests on-property electric vehicle charging, and provided lower-emission choices with carbon-neutral options for our meetings and events customers. We also opened what we believe to be the first net-zero hotel in the United States: Hotel Marcel New Haven, Tapestry Collection by Hilton Additionally, in 2022 we made a strategic investment in Fifth Wall’s Climate Tech Fund to support its work to deliver innovative decarbonizing technologies to the real estate industry. Hilton is one of the world’s largest hospitality companies, and with more than 7,000 hotels around the globe, we recognize our responsibility to be a leader as an inclusive workplace and to be a force for good in the communities where we operate. As a business of people serving people, we are focused on creating a culture that serves our Team Members—from empowering them to bring their full selves to work to creating opportunities for all in our communities. When the conflict in Ukraine unfolded, we quickly deployed resources to protect our Team Members and guests in the region. We also partnered with American Express to donate room nights to support Ukrainian refugees and humanitarian relief efforts across Europe. At the heart of all of these incredible efforts are our more than 400,000 Team Members, who are working in thousands of communities globally to share our signature hospitality and make the world a better place
