Hyatt Hotels Adopts 100% Renewable Energy

U.S. hotels owned by Hyatt Hotels adopted 100% renewable electricity through Green-e Energy Certified renewable energy certificates that match their electricity use.

On average, these RECs will reduce building emissions by more than 50%. Hyatt is continuing to work with franchised property owners to assist their efforts toward increased use of renewable electricity. 

Later in 2023, Hyatt will work with Hyatt-managed full-service hotels in the Americas region to make it easier for guests, customers and colleagues to identify Hyatt properties recognized for their environmental efforts through environmental certifications. In particular, the hotels are prioritizing Green Key Global, Green Key F.E.E., Earth Check, and other certifications recognized by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

Details were published in Hyatt’s 2022 World of Care Highlights and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) Report.

“Over the past 65+ years, care has been at the heart of everything we do at Hyatt, which is why caring for the planet, people and responsible business — the three pillars of World of Care — are so deeply embedded across our organization,” said Margaret Egan, executive vice president, general counsel and executive sponsor of World of Care, in a statement. “As we move forward on our journey to help preserve and support thriving destinations, now and in the future, we will continue to challenge ourselves to listen, learn and take action against the evolving needs and priorities of our stakeholders.”
