Marriott International Inc/MD

Marriott provides a limited framework to align its lobbying with its climate strategy, primarily focusing on indirect engagement through trade and industry associations, while offering a public commitment to the goals of the Paris Agreement. For example, it states that "To align Marriott's engagement activities are consistent with the company's overall climate strategy, we aim to consider the positions of associations to align with our company objective and targets, including our commitment to set science-based emissions reduction targets, in line with 1.5°C emissions scenarios; and set a long-term science-based target to reach net-zero value chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by no later than 2050, in line with the criteria and recommendations of the Science Based Targets initiative." It also answers "Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[...]Yes". While these disclosures demonstrate a policy for ensuring that association positions align with its climate objectives, the company does not disclose any formal monitoring or review procedures for its lobbying or specify an individual, committee, or formal body responsible for overseeing lobbying alignment, and the described Serve 360 governance structures relate broadly to ESG matters rather than targeted lobbying oversight.
