As a company, we are committed to protecting our natural environment, to the comfort and well-being of our guests and to respecting the communities in which we operate. Environmental sustainability is at the core of everything that we do – from the design and construction of our hotels, to the products in our guest rooms, to the efficient use of natural resources. But the key to our success is the 80,000 environmental ambassadors that we have around the world in our associates.

Leading Hyatt’s environmental charge is Ms. Brigitta Witt, Vice President, Environmental Affairs. Witt has developed the corporate environmental policy that addresses Hyatt’s commitment to minimizing the impact that its hotels have on the environment. Important to our guests, employees and owners, this policy focuses on awareness and education to promote and reinforce a culture of environmental consciousness through all facets of Hyatt’s global operations. It requires the alliance of employees, owners and business partners. Hyatt’s policy focuses on five key areas:

1. Awareness, education and communication

2. Reducing waste and emissions

3. Energy and water conservation

4. Purchasing

5. Building design and construction

A global company partnered with a passionate advocate for personal and corporate environmental responsibility, Brigitta and Hyatt employees have launched a worthwhile journey towards global sustainability.
