Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]Our processes to ensure that indirect activities are consistent with our overall climate change strategy are as follows: (1) Prior to entering into new affiliations or industry group or expanding the scope of current affiliations or industry group, an organization's policy positions are among the several factors that we would consider. (2) Through membership and committee participation, we would be able to monitor whether their activities are consistent with our climate and energy strategy. (3) Additionally, we utilize our annual disclosures to the CDP Climate Change program as an opportunity to further review and assess whether the public policy positions of trade associations for which Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has an affiliation are consistent with our own climate change strategy.
In 2021, we did not directly engage with policy makers on climate change issues. Examples of past direct engagement have included (1) engagement with the New Jersey chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council and (2) engagement with local governments to integrate sustainability into resort development and/or major renovation plans for managed properties.
