Marriott Bonvoy launches 'Connect Responsibly' program

The program is designed to help meeting planners integrate sustainability into their events at participating hotels

Connect Responsibly is designed to provide meeting and event customers with access to comprehensive Meeting Impact Reports, allowing them to assess the environmental impact of their events and explore options for purchasing carbon credits. The program is expected to launch globally in participating brands' managed and franchised properties by the end of October.

Key takeaways

• After an event, clients receive an easy-to-use Meeting Impact Report detailing event-specific information, sustainability practices implemented by the property, and the event's carbon and water footprint. These metrics are calculated using accepted hospitality industry methodologies;
• In partnership with South Pole, a leading carbon asset developer and climate consulting firm, Marriott will provide customers with access to a curated selection of carbon offset projects;
• Through the Meeting Impact Report, clients can use South Pole's online platform to select independently verified carbon offset projects to purchase as part of their event.
