As world leaders, NGOs and corporations are gathered for #ClimateWeekNYC, Highgate is proud to release our latest Corporate Responsibility Report outlining how we are tackling some of the world’s toughest climate challenges: • As a commercial real estate owner and hotel operator, we are a part of the built environment’s 42% contribution to global annual carbon emissions. By completing hundreds of energy and water conservation projects, we push to operate our buildings as efficiently as possible. To address the embodied carbon of buildings and cement production’s 7% contribution to global annual carbon emissions, we were the first hotel owner and management company to complete a green concrete project • The aviation industry is responsible for almost 2% of global emissions today and its impact on climate change is expected to grow rapidly by 2050. Highgate is the first hospitality company to buy sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) credits and to set a goal for all eligible used cooking oil from our hotels to be used for SAF production by 2030. • Agricultural systems need to shift from extractive to regenerative. Our culinary exploration with perennial grain builds momentum for agroecosystems that provide natural grassland benefits like carbon sequestration, soil protection, and water purification. We applaud all our team members from the top down for their commitment and hard work. This is what has led to Highgate making substantial progress against our goals and continuing to establish new benchmarks for what we plan to achieve.
