PM Hotel Group released its eighth annual sustainability report, outlining environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance across its portfolio in 2025.

During 2025, the company tracked performance across energy, water and waste, as part of an effort to align its ESG strategy with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and Global Reporting Initiative frameworks. The firm also completed its first formal materiality assessment, identifying focus areas including energy management, diversity, equity and inclusion, ethical business practices and waste reduction.

“Sustainability is embedded in how we operate and how we grow,” Joseph Bojanowski, president, PM Hotel Group, said in a statement. “As we mark our 30th anniversary this year, this report reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible hospitality, one that prioritizes our people, strengthens our communities and reduces our environmental impact.”

The Chevy Chase, Md.-based management company reported a 5 percent year-over-year reduction in energy use intensity across its portfolio. It also installed 18 Level 2 electric vehicle chargers at five properties through a partnership with EV+. In addition, collaboration with Commercial Green Solutions identified more than $300,000 in net-zero-cost energy projects funded through utility and state rebates, generating an estimated 680,000 kWh in annual energy savings.

At the property level, sustainability initiatives included water conservation systems and green building certifications. The company reported more than 1,300 LEED-certified keys under management in 2025, along with additional certifications across its portfolio.

PM Hotel Group also reported activity tied to responsible sourcing and workforce development. Through partnerships with Procure Impact and the American Hotel & Lodging Association’s Dignity of Work Pledge, the company generated more than 2,200 hours of employment for individuals facing barriers to work, representing more than $140,000 in related spend.

Community and workforce initiatives remained part of the company’s ESG efforts. In 2025, associates supported more than 20 organizations during the company’s annual Day of Giving and participated in meal assembly programs addressing food insecurity through partnerships including Feed the Fridge. The company also reported a 94.4 percent participation rate in its associate engagement survey, which it said will inform future investments in benefits and workplace programs. Properties also marked Earth Week with activities including participation in Earth Hour focused on energy conservation and climate awareness.
