In 2022, Sonesta International Hotels Corporation reported total carbon emissions of approximately 240,462,000 kg CO2e, which includes 40,444,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 emissions and 200,017,900 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. Notably, there is no reported data for Scope 3 emissions. Currently, Sonesta has not established specific reduction targets or initiatives, nor do they participate in recognised climate pledges such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The absence of defined reduction strategies indicates a potential area for growth in their climate commitments. As a company headquartered in the US, Sonesta's emissions data reflects their operational impact on the environment, and the lack of cascading data from a parent organisation suggests that these figures are independently reported. Overall, while Sonesta has made strides in transparency regarding their emissions, further commitments and targets would enhance their climate strategy.
