Hilton has partnered with ClimeCo to develop a portfolio of high-quality carbon offsets for customers hosting meetings or events at Hilton hotels around the world.
Hilton recognizes its responsibility to empower our customers to achieve their ESG goals through more sustainable offerings and is pleased to offer a program called Meet with Purpose which enables planners to first make selections for an environmentally responsible and sustainable meeting and events, and then provides a carbon offset option to deliver carbon neutral meetings, available at participating Hilton properties around the world.
Using Hilton’s proprietary ESG management platform, LightStay, Hilton sales professionals calculate the carbon emissions associated with a meeting or event and then purchase carbon offsets from ClimeCo that are third-party verified and registered through the Climate Action Reserve or Verified Carbon Standard.
Making Climate Impact in Florida
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas (GHG) that contributes to global warming. It is 265 times more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide (CO2) and is often overlooked. Ascend Performance Materials has a plant in Cantonment, FL, where they voluntarily chose to add a new absorption system that captures and destroys N2O emissions from their process. This is the largest voluntary N2O abatement project in North America and results in improving local air quality due to a significant reduction of emissions that otherwise would have been released into the atmosphere. Ascend's safety and environmental performance guides their commitment to zero: zero personal injuries, zero process safety incidents, and zero environmental releases. This project is third-party verified and registered through the Climate Action Reserve (CAR) Registry.
