Meet with Purpose

Inspired by the connections we make through global travel, Hilton practices hospitality in more sustainable and impactful ways than ever before. Our strategy is called Travel with Purpose, and our aim is to drive responsible travel and tourism globally. A key element of Travel with Purpose is Meet with Purpose, a program launched to help empower customers to select more sustainable options while enhancing the attendee experience and positively impacting the communities where they gather. In addition, Meet with Purpose supports hotel efforts to drive progress in reducing energy and water usage, and waste generation.

Resolve to Meet with Purpose

The Hilton Meet with Purpose Checklist can help you make decisions to gather more sustainably and lower the environmental impact of your meeting or event. Our Meet with Purpose offerings and our Meet with Purpose Checklist allow clients to:

Gather sustainabilty

Based on your Meeting Impact Calculator report, Hilton can neutralize the CO2 emissions on your behalf by securing carbon credits with ClimeCo that go towards carbon reduction projects. This option is provided in select hotels.

Nourish attendees and communities

Nourish with climate-conscious menus featuring locally-sourced, sustainably-grown, and/or low-carbon food and beverage meals designed to boost energy and minimize leftovers.

Reach out to your Hilton Worldwide Sales representative or hotel contact to create sustainable menus and incorporate food donation into your program.

Impact the destination

Incorporate volunteer activities into meetings and events and leave the community better because you were there. With our Community Impact and Volunteering Guide we help you include volunteer activations that align to your environmental and goals while building camaraderie during your meetings and events.

Track our environmental progress

LightStay is Hilton’s industry-leading platform that allows every hotel to measure and manage their carbon, waste, water, energy, and other environmental performance factors. LightStay reporting offers a snapshot of Hilton’s environmental and social impact globally at both the property level and company-wide.

Hilton has been named a Global Industry Leader on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for eight consecutive years.

Measure and manage your impact

Our LightStay Meeting Impact Calculator report generates a customized estimate of your event’s environmental impact, using the hotel’s consumption data to project the total carbon emissions, energy use, water, and waste for your event.

The customized forecast is created pre-event and provides you with suggestions to reduce your event’s projected carbon footprint. The post-event report provides an itemized measurement of the event’s overall impact.

LightStay and the Meeting Impact Calculator reports are available at every Hilton property around the globe. Also, be sure to ask your hotel representative for the Hilton Meet with Purpose Checklist to help you make decisions to gather more sustainably and lower the environmental impact of your meeting or event.

For more information on Meet with Purpose, contact your Hilton Worldwide Sales representative or your hotel representative.
