Lodging franchisor, Choice
Hotels International has announced the release of its 2024 Sustainability
Report.
Key Highlights of the Report
Carbon Emissions: Choice Hotels has reported its
Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions for the first time, alongside Scope 1 and 2
emissions, calculating its full greenhouse gas inventory as an important step
towards fulfilling its commitment to set science-based targets.
National Parks Foundation: Collaborating with the
National Park Foundation (NPF), Choice has contributed $150,000 through an
annual donation to the foundation and launched a new feature allowing Choice
Privileges members to convert points into donations. The partnership aligns with
Choice's branded hotel footprint, with 95 percent of U.S. hotels located within
a 90-minute drive of a national park, and its guests' affinity for visiting
national parks. The partnership will also allow the hotel franchisor to
contribute to NPF's mission of supporting and enhancing America's national
parks for present and future generations.
Your Community, Your Choice: In 2024, this grant
program celebrated its fifth anniversary, donating $275,000 to local nonprofits
since its inception. The 2024 grant recipients include organizations that
address food security, veteran support, aid for abuse and trafficking victims,
youth education, animal shelters, and more. Through this program, Choice
supports causes that are meaningful to hotel owners by offering grants to local
organizations.
