Marriott International has launched Connect Responsibly with Marriott Bonvoy Events, a programme designed to help meeting planners embed sustainability into their events at participating hotels in the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio.
Connect Responsibly offers two key resources – Meeting Impact Reports and Carbon Offset Options.
Meeting Impact Reports – available post-event – detail the gathering’s environmental footprint, including carbon and water usage. Calculations are based on established hospitality industry methodologies and the reports will be available in 11 languages.
For Carbon Offset Options, Marriott has partnered with South Pole for access to a selection of verified carbon offset projects. Event planners can choose projects through the Meeting Impact Report to offset their event’s environmental impact.
This launch reflects the growing demand for sustainable event solutions, where the programme is expected to be available at nearly 500 hotels across Asia Pacific (excluding China) by the end of October, with a global rollout planned.
