Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Choice Hotels

AT CHOICE HOTELS, WE’VE MADE ROOM FOR RESPONSIBILITY™

At Choice brand hotels across the globe, we work hard to make every guest feel welcome, wanted and respected, but we also believe that this spirit should be alive in the communities where we work and live. It’s not just a way of doing business; it’s how we make Room for Responsibility. Our associates and the employees of our more than 7,000 franchised hotels around the world embody a commitment to giving back and embracing the five pillars of our corporate responsibility program each and every day.

Environmental Sustainability

When it comes to being green at our corporate headquarters, we don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk. We want our hotel owners to know that—together—we can move the needle on reducing energy and water consumption and make an enormous impact on the environment. We strive to inspire and educate our owners by investing in a smart, sustainable building and adopting environmentally friendly values at our corporate offices. We are proud to let our owners and guests know that our worldwide headquarters located in North Bethesda, MD is Platinum LEED Certified (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) with features like a green roof, Energy Star® appliances, recycling, walkable communities, monthly public transportation subsidies, elimination of disposable cups, and technological enhancements to reduce paper waste - to name a few - practicing a sustainable lifestyle is a way of life for our associates.

Being green is simply a part of our culture at Choice. We lead by example.
