Hyatt Hotels Corp

The proposal requests that Hyatt’s Board produce a report, at reasonable expense and excluding proprietary information, analyzing whether the company could disclose its overall single-use plastic and plastic packaging usage. Proponents argue this disclosure is a necessary first step to set reduction goals and manage regulatory, environmental, and reputational risks as governments and consumers increasingly target single-use plastics. The proposal cites peer hotel companies that have committed to measure and reduce single-use plastics and references studies recommending return-and-refill reuse systems as a major source of packaging-waste reduction. The report would examine metrics such as total tons of plastic used, units avoided, and recyclability, and assess practicability given Hyatt’s decentralized operations and supply chain data limitations.
