This commitment to social responsibility is reflected in its partnership with Feeding America, a leading food rescue organization. Through this collaboration, Marriott International is donating over 300,000 meals to communities in need. Marriott International’s commitment to social responsibility goes beyond just donating food. The company is also actively involved in other initiatives aimed at addressing social issues. These initiatives include supporting local communities through job creation, providing educational opportunities, and promoting sustainable practices.

The food truck initiative is part of Marriott Bonvoy’s “Journey to Zero” sustainability program. “Journey to Zero” aims to reduce the company’s environmental footprint by 2030. “Journey to Zero” encompasses a wide range of initiatives, including reducing food waste, promoting sustainable sourcing, and supporting local communities. Marriott Bonvoy’s “Journey to Zero” program is a comprehensive approach to sustainability that goes beyond just reducing environmental impact. It focuses on creating positive social impact and fostering a sense of community.

The hotel industry is a significant contributor to food waste, but it’s not alone. Restaurants, grocery stores, and even households are all responsible for a significant portion of food waste. The problem of food waste is a global issue, affecting every continent. It’s estimated that 1/3 of all food produced globally is wasted. This translates to a staggering 1.3 billion tons of food wasted annually.

The Serve 360 platform is designed to track and measure the company’s progress towards its sustainability goals. It provides a comprehensive overview of the company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance. The platform also facilitates collaboration and communication between Marriott and its stakeholders, including employees, customers, and suppliers.
