Advancing Positive Impact Across Supply Chains
HSM prioritizes responsible, sustainable and inclusive sourcing to preserve and uplift environments and communities of the world through Source with Purpose, our global strategy to advance positive impact across supply chains.
HSM plays an integral role in realizing Hilton’s Travel with Purpose 2030 goals to drive responsible travel and tourism globally across our operations, supply chain and communities. We support these goals and advance our Source with Purpose strategy across three pillars:
Responsible
HSM leverages our Responsible Sourcing Policy, Animal Welfare Statement and EcoVadis partnership to ensure suppliers are responsible and ethical business partners. We hold suppliers to the highest human rights standards and work at every level of the supply chain to advance shared goals. Learn more about HSM’s due diligence approach to mitigating ESG risk here.
Sustainable
Protecting and restoring the planet’s resources is of upmost importance, and companies’ supply chains play an essential role in that. We engage our suppliers to work towards a net zero future and reduce waste to landfill at every stage of the product lifecycle.
Inclusive
We own our role in enabling suppliers in their journey to become stronger stewards of people and the planet. Whether it be certified diverse, local or small business suppliers, HSM actively engages and empowers these businesses to scale their potential for economic growth.

Source with Purpose in Action:
Repurposing retired terry with win-win zero waste solution
In partnership with Mars Petcare and Greater Good Charities, HSM is connecting Hilton properties across the U.S. with local animal shelters to create a sustainable pipeline for repurposing gently used towels and terry products. These donations will give retired terry products a second life helping as many as 70,000 shelter animals awaiting their forever home - all while diverting more than 140,000 pounds of landfill waste and supporting the
local communities where we live, work and travel.
With a dual focus on waste reduction and positive community impact, our terry recycling program brings us one step closer to our goal of reducing waste to landfill by 50 percent by 2030.
