Marriott International (NYSE: MAR) received the prestigious “World Savers” award from Condé Nast Traveler magazine for its outstanding Community Engagement and Social Responsibility program. Marriott was selected as the leading “chain hotel & resort” company, with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, L.L.C., receiving an honorable mention in the distinguished second place position.


The award was based on a comprehensive evaluation of the company’s community service initiatives, with a focus on the areas of education, health, poverty relief, cultural and environmental preservation, and wildlife conservation. “Think about [the winners] the next time you book a trip. You too, through your travel decisions, can help change the world,” wrote Condé Nast Traveler magazine.

Celebrating 80 years of service, Marriott has a long history of Community Engagement and Social Responsibility. Recently, the company branded and focused its “Spirit To Serve Our Communities” program to address these signature issues under the “SERVE” umbrella:

Shelter and Food
Environment
Readiness for Hotel Careers
Vitality of Children
Embracing Diversity and People with Disabilities

“A Spirit To Serve Our Communities is embedded in the culture and DNA of our company,” said J.W. Marriott, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Marriott International. “We hope that more and more customers will continue to choose Marriott because of our reputation to provide outstanding service, both to them as customers and to the communities where we operate.”
