Starwood Hotels & Resorts is driving sustainability by operating its properties with agility and evolving with the changing needs of its guests, the environment and the communities in which it operates. In 2007, Starwood began collecting environmental data on all
of its properties around the world. Two years later, the data became the baseline for Starwood’s landmark environmental initiative 30/20 by 20, which calls for a 30 percent reduction in energy use and a 20 percent reduction in water consumption per built hotel room globally by 2020.
