Summit Hotel Properties Inc

We formally established our Corporate Responsibility Program ("CRP") in 2017 as part of our ongoing commitment to be more inclusive, equitable and sustainable. We believe that the goals and efforts established under our CRP are an important part of our core responsibilities to create a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable world. Our CRP is designed to help our stockholders better understand our commitment and efforts regarding environmental stewardship, social responsibility, governance and resilience. The Company's Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee provides oversight and direction to management on the reporting and goals contained in our CRP, as well as climate and other environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) related risks. We have based our corporate responsibility goals using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as a guide with a focus on those that best align with our business. Since the establishment of our CRP, we have built upon our sustainability objectives, from tracking metrics related to our consumption, waste, recycling and greenhouse gas emissions, to setting measurable, science-informed reduction targets for energy, water and carbon. We are working to improve the efficiency of our buildings and promote sustainable operations through our energy management program. We also formed a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to support our community and social programs. We are pleased with the significant progress that we have made with our CRP and look forward to continuing to build on our accomplishments.
