Sustainability
"Hilton was founded on the noble premise that travel can make the world a better place and that premise still guide us today"
At Hilton, we have set ambitious targets to reduce our environmental impact — including a 61% reduction in carbon emissions and a 50% reduction in water consumption by 2030.
Our efforts have been recognized globally by leading organizations such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, the Carbon Disclosure Project, and the World Travel & Tourism Council. These honors reflect our unwavering commitment to building a more sustainable future for our guests, our communities, and our planet.
Hilton Cabo Verde's Contribution
TThe hotel industry has a significant impact on the environment, and reducing this footprint is essential. At Hilton Cabo Verde, we are committed to minimizing our impact by reducing plastic use, waste, and carbon emissions.
We recognize that these efforts can be challenging in Cabo Verde, where the availability of goods is limited. Yet, our dedication remains strong — every measure we take is designed to protect the island’s natural beauty and ensure a more sustainable future for our community and our guests.

Plastic Reduction
At Hilton Cabo Verde, we are dedicated to reducing plastic use and protecting our oceans, wildlife, and communities. To support this global priority, we provide guests with filtered glass water bottles in all rooms, restaurants, and bars.
​
All avoidable plastic items — including straws, takeaway containers, and glasses — have been replaced with sustainable alternatives, ensuring your stay is both comfortable and environmentally responsible.
Our water bottles are sterilized every day and the water goes through several filters and quality tests before reaching our customers.
​We contribute with beach cleanups and underwater cleanups in collaboration with local associations.

Food Waste Reduction
Reducing food waste is essential to tackling global food insecurity and protecting the environment. Every year, nearly one‑third of all food produced worldwide is lost — a challenge with serious economic and ecological consequences.
​
At Hilton Cabo Verde, we take action by securely packaging all leftover food and donating it to local kennels caring for stray dogs. This initiative not only reduces waste but also supports the community and promotes sustainability across the island.
