Hilton discloses emissions comprehensively with third-party assurance, but absolute emissions are rising despite intensity reductions. Scope 3 supply chain mapping is incomplete, science-based targets lack long-term net-zero validation, and U.S. Chamber membership undermines climate advocacy. Progress is real but constrained by portfolio growth and misaligned trade association positions.
