Cornell University 2025 SR
The report documents the methodology and results of the Hotel Sustainability Benchmarking Index 2025, analyzing environmental performance data from 27,219 hotels globally for the 2023 calendar year. It introduces a new waste index benchmarking seven waste metrics alongside established measures for carbon, energy, and water. The findings reveal that larger properties are driving sector-wide improvements, with a 7.5% decrease in the weighted average of carbon emissions per square meter. However, progress remains uneven, with non-resorts showing greater efficiency gains than resorts, and occupancy-based metrics showing more consistent improvements than floor-area-based metrics.
