Lodging franchisor, Choice Hotels International has announced the release of its 2024 Sustainability Report.

Key Highlights of the Report

Carbon Emissions: Choice Hotels has reported its Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions for the first time, alongside Scope 1 and 2 emissions, calculating its full greenhouse gas inventory as an important step towards fulfilling its commitment to set science-based targets.

National Parks Foundation: Collaborating with the National Park Foundation (NPF), Choice has contributed $150,000 through an annual donation to the foundation and launched a new feature allowing Choice Privileges members to convert points into donations. The partnership aligns with Choice's branded hotel footprint, with 95 percent of U.S. hotels located within a 90-minute drive of a national park, and its guests' affinity for visiting national parks. The partnership will also allow the hotel franchisor to contribute to NPF's mission of supporting and enhancing America's national parks for present and future generations.

Your Community, Your Choice: In 2024, this grant program celebrated its fifth anniversary, donating $275,000 to local nonprofits since its inception. The 2024 grant recipients include organizations that address food security, veteran support, aid for abuse and trafficking victims, youth education, animal shelters, and more. Through this program, Choice supports causes that are meaningful to hotel owners by offering grants to local organizations.
