Marriott Recognized as one Best Companies in the US

Marriott International, Inc. has been named by Business Ethics magazine as the only hotel company on its 100 Best Corporate Citizens list, according to the Spring 2005 issue. All companies on the Russell 1000 index are considered, and rankings are based on eight different categories: total return to stockholders, the community, governance, diversity, employees, the environment, human rights and product.

Marriott has often been recognized for its positive employee culture, which is based on the theory that if you take care of your employees, they´ll take care of your customers, who will return again and again.

For eight consecutive years, the company has been featured in Fortune magazine´s "100 Best Companies to Work For" list.

More than 16 years ago, Marriott became the first lodging company to establish a diversity program and continues to set the standard for the industry.
