Marriott International has published its sustainability report 2011-2012, in which the company details its contribution to workforce development for disadvantaged youth around the world to help them gain skills and jobs through programmes such as the “Youth Career Initiative.”“For Marriott, creating a sustainable future includes preserving the environment, but it also means creating more jobs and stronger communities,” said Mari Snyder, vice president of social responsibility, adding the group intended to hire approximately 100,000 people in the next two years. The group announced plans to manage a 173-room hotel (pictured above) in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, which will create 200 new jobs for the local area.Marriott recently signed up to the Green Hotel Global initiative, an online tool that enables customers to access a comprehensive list of environmental metrics and practices for each hotel in the Marriott portfolio, and targets to reduce water consumption per occupied room by 12% and energy consumption per square metre by 4%; targets in place since 2007.Other highlights of the report include Marriott’s use of social media to showcase career opportunities in hospitality, and the provision of its “Human Rights and the Protection of Children” training in all Marriott franchised properties worldwide.
