Hilton’s ENERGY STAR Team with EPA Administrator Christie Todd Whitman
Each quarterly corporate benchmarking report, comparing a variety of energy metrics across Hilton properties, is sent to individual hotel general managers and directors.

Hilton’s management approach has resulted in the prevention of more than 64 million pounds of carbon dioxide and savings of $2.5 million.
