Marriott International, Inc. (MAR) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

Provided filings contain no quantified Scope 1/2/3 emissions data, renewable electricity percentage, or a disclosed net-zero target year, resulting in deductions for non-disclosure under the deterministic rubric. The 10-K acknowledges climate-related physical risks (extreme weather, water shortages) and rising compliance costs but does not document specific toxic-waste or water-consumption controversies with verifiable sources, nor does it detail physical decarbonization capital investments distinct from general capital expenditures. This is a research-informational assessment, not investment advice.

Criticisms on file

10-K risk factors cite exposure to extreme weather, water shortages, droughts, and rising insurance/operating costs tied to climate change, without disclosure of specific mitigation infrastructure investment figures.

Social story

The CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio of 474:1, as disclosed in the 2026 proxy statement, substantially exceeds the 200:1 threshold, triggering a deduction. No documented union-suppression campaigns or strikes within the last 24 months were identified in the provided filings, though the 10-K discloses ongoing collective bargaining exposure and historical labor disruption risk. Leadership and workforce diversity percentages were not disclosed in the provided documents, precluding a definitive deduction on that sub-factor. This is a research-informational assessment, not investment advice.

Criticisms on file

10-K risk factors acknowledge historical and potential future collective bargaining disputes, strikes, lockouts, and boycotts across managed/leased/owned hotel operations, though no specific recent incident is detailed.
