How Host Hotels Is Connected to Marriott
Host Hotels & Resorts is one of the largest owners of Marriott-branded hotel properties. While Marriott International manages the brand, Host Hotels benefits from Marriott’s success as Marriott fails to fulfill its cage-free egg promise, prolonging animal cruelty in its egg supply chain.
MARRIOTT INTERNATIONAL’S BROKEN CAGE-FREE EGG PROMISE
Marriott publicly committed to sourcing cage-free eggs globally across its hotels by 2025.
But that commitment remains incomplete. Millions of hens may still be confined in tiny wire battery cages, unable to spread their wings, perch, or engage in natural behaviors.
These cages are widely considered among the cruelest systems in modern food production.
Marriott has the power to help end this cruelty. Its failure to act puts animals at risk and creates growing reputational risk for the company.
Why Host Hotels Is Complicit in Animal Cruelty
Host Hotels & Resorts says it is focused on delivering long-term, risk-adjusted returns — but that should include addressing the reputational risks tied to animal cruelty. As the world’s largest publicly traded lodging REIT, Host profits from Marriott-branded properties and benefits from Marriott’s brand strength. By remaining silent while Marriott fails to fulfill its cage-free egg commitment, Host is complicit in ongoing cruelty to hens and is exposing itself to unnecessary reputational and stakeholder risk.
Take action now and urge Host Hotels to stop enabling this cruelty by publicly pressing Marriott to honor its cage-free egg promise.
Marriott International is at the center of an escalating international campaign led by animal protection groups and advocates demanding an end to cages for hens in its supply chain. Across the globe — from protests in New York and Texas to demonstrations in São Paulo and Jakarta — people are taking to the streets to make clear that Marriott’s inaction is being watched far beyond its corporate offices. What began as a corporate animal welfare issue has become a global reputational problem, with numerous animal protection organizations publicly calling out the company for failing to deliver meaningful progress. Until Marriott takes real action, this international pressure campaign will only continue to grow.
