Five Hilton Brands Double Clean the World Soap Bar Goal to 2 Million

Earlier this year in March, Hilton’s Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton by Hilton and All Suites brands launched the Clean the World Challenge in partnership with Clean the World, a global health leader dedicated to sustainability and water, sanitization and health. Embassy Suites by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton challenged hotel owners and Team Members to collect bars of soap left behind by guests to be recycled into 1 million bars of new soap by Global Handwashing Day (October 15) for Clean the World to distribute to communities in need.

I just learned that the Hilton brands named above have already reached their goal of 1 million bars and are doubling their original goal to 2 million new bars of soap by October 15. You can track the Hilton brands’ progress here. Clean the World Foundation, the world’s largest nonprofit organization to recycle discarded hotel soap, will distribute the recycled soap to communities in need in 127 countries around the globe.

Clean the World’s mission aligns with Hilton’s Travel with Purpose initiative, the company’s corporate responsibility strategy. By 2030, Hilton commits to cut its environmental footprint in half to help protect the planet and double its social impact investment to drive positive change in communities. As part of these goals, Hilton has committed to send zero soap to landfill in addition to Hilton’s brand standards for Embassy Suites by Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn, Hampton by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton and Home2 Suites by Hilton brands across the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
