Hyatt Hotels Corporation, headquartered in Chicago, is a leading global hospitality company guided by its purpose – to care for people so they can be their best. As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s portfolio had more than 1,300 hotels and all-inclusive properties globally, including over 280 properties in Asia Pacific.
As the world evolves and new challenges emerge, Hyatt has advanced its global Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy through World of Care to care for the planet, people and responsible business. The global approach is derived by closely listening to what is most important to colleagues, guests, customers, hotel owners, investors and the communities in which Hyatt hotels operate around the world.
From reducing food waste to the eliminating use of single-used plastic, Hyatt teams across Asia Pacific are accelerating efforts toward Hyatt’s 2030 environmental goals – focused on areas of climate change and water conservation, waste and circularity, responsible sourcing and thriving destinations.

Finn Bolding Thomsen, International Green Key Director, also expressed his enthusiasm:
‘It is great to see an important hotel chain like Hyatt recognising the sustainability and educational value of partnering with Green Key, and choosing as a preferred certification programme partner. We are really looking forward to seeing more of Hyatt’s hotels in Asia Pacific adopting the Green Key criteria and validating their sustainability efforts against the certificate’.
