Marriott International has agreed to participate in corporate lodging platform HRS’ Green Stay Initiative, launched in March, HRS announced Wednesday at the Global Business Travel Association convention in Orlando. The news comes a month after Accor joined the initiative.

Under the Green Stay Initiative, HRS users can select hotels based on sustainability scores, which HRS calculates using a proprietary formula taking various inputs into account.

“A mere seven months after launch, hotels in 72 countries have participated in our Green Stay Initiative, providing timely metrics on their carbon, water and waste operations as companies increasingly require sustainability data for hotels to gain preferred supplier status,” said HRS CEO Tobias Ragge In a statement. 

Marriott has committed to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, joining the Race to Zero. “HRS’ Green Stay Initiative provides another avenue for us to meet the needs of our stakeholders to publicly and transparently report on our sustainability metrics and progress and share the steps hotels are taking to deliver more sustainable lodging options to business travelers,” said Marriott VP of sustainability and supplier diversity Denise Naguib in a statement.
