Meetings and events at The Ritz-Carlton are carefully designed to create an unparalleled guest experience while protecting our natural resources. Together with our property-based Ritz-Carlton Environmental Action Conservation Teams (REACT) you and your attendees can support our efforts to reduce our environmental imprint and make a meaningful difference. Within our hotels, we reduce energy and water usage, offer a linen and terry reuse program, and utilize environmentally preferable cleaning products. Our meeting venues support a sustainable future by offering recycled paper products and pens, water service options, organic and local food and sustainable seafood options.

A memorable and enriching stay can extend well beyond our hotels. That’s why The Ritz-Carlton proudly offers Impact Experiences, providing inspiring opportunities for our guests to contribute to the local community. Impact Experiences are compelling social and environmental impact activities where there is one constant – each program makes a lasting and authentic difference.

Impact Experiences offers on-property activities that can be incorporated into the conference agenda during lunch breaks, receptions and coffee breaks, including:

• Partnering with the hotel’s culinary team to prepare the ingredients for a regionally adapted dish for donation to a local hunger relief organization


• Assembling school supplies and art materials in backpacks for donation to students whose academic success is threatened by poverty


• Collaborating in teams to assemble emergency preparedness kits for shipping to a disaster relief facility or community organization


• Designing and creating greetings and birthday cards for children in a local pediatric healthcare facility or children’s organization


• Impact Hour, is a platform for leaders from The Ritz-Carlton Community Footprints partner organizations to showcase how they are successfully addressing social and environmental issues.

Additionally, Signature Impact Experiences invites our group guests to take part in an off-site volunteer activity, unique to the destination.

Encourage the next generation to appreciate and support farming. Group guests can help play host to a local school visit to Sun Village and learn about organic farming the best way possible — by doing. Spend a Day with Nature to teach school children the importance of agriculture and the role it plays in our daily lives.
