Environmental Responsibility

Ritz-Carlton Environmental Action Conservation Teams (REACT)

At The Ritz-Carlton, we have a genuine commitment to be supportive of the community and sensitive to the environment. Our environmental responsibility initiatives deliver an unparalleled guest experience while protecting our natural resources. We are committed to engaging our Ladies and Gentlemen in a comprehensive sustainability strategy, led by our property-based Ritz-Carlton Environmental Action Conservation Teams (REACT). Within our hotels, we are mindful of our impact on the environment by reducing energy and water usage, offering a linen and terry reuse program, implementing recycling initiatives, and utilizing environmentally preferable cleaning products.

Environmental Responsibility

Sustainable and Organic

Our Ladies and Gentlemen are proud to offer organic and local foods in our restaurants, organic treatments, and products in our spas, paperless billing to guests upon checkout, and continuously seek opportunities to purchase more sustainable products throughout the hotel. Locally, our Ladies and Gentlemen work to better the environment through community projects such as native plant restoration, the protection of endangered species, and the creation of community gardens.

Impact Experiences

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.

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

Signature Impact Experiences

Serve the Sheep

Help the Bighorn Institute, dedicated to the conservation of the endangered Peninsular bighorn sheep, native to California. Group guests can help maintain the sheep’s protected habitat and preserve their sole source of water by clearing the area of invasive plants and overgrowth. The work also helps diminish the danger of predatory attacks on the herds. Please contact your meetings and special events professional for details on how Impact Experiences can be matched to your group.

Culinary Activities

Guacamole/Salsa Challenge

This challenge works well for a smaller group. Teams are broken up into 2-4 guests. We have the station set for everything they could need. Each team can go to the “food rack” for special ingredients that they would like to include. From there, they make and prepare their Guacamole and salsa for taste testing. Our Banquet Chef will demonstrate how to make each item, while attendees observe and potentially utilize it while preparing their own guacamole/salsa.

Tapas

A little of a lot is a good thing! Our Chef will teach the group to make custom-made Tapas that will delight any crowd. Individual stations will consist of cooking equipment and product.

Pasta Making Class

Enjoy the music of Frank Sinatra as our Chef guides you in a class of making fresh, delicious pasta paired with both an Alfredo as well as a classic Pomodoro sauce. The pasta dough will be expertly crafted and prepared for your group by our culinary team. Creativity is encouraged as each individual prepares their custom pasta dish with a selection of fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.

Whiskey Tasting

Whiskey is not easy to embrace. Its alcohol level is much higher than beer or wine. Whiskies are rich and diverse in flavors-more than any other distilled spirit. At their extreme, the really smoky, peat-infused Scotch Whiskies can be downright challenging. Our Whiskey Expert will provide a general overview of one of the world’s finest pours.

Then, go head-to-head in a team aroma challenge to identify scents and fragrances in a unique challenge.

Master Taster

Attendees are led through an interactive tasting of four sommelier-selected wines and assorted food items. Experience why chocolate might not be Cabernet’s best friend, or why wedding cake might be better off without Champagne.

Banquet
Generally used for meals and sessions involving small group discussions. A five foot round table seats eight people comfortably. A six foot round table seats 10 people comfortably.

E-Shape, U-Shape and T-Shape
Appropriate for groups of fewer than 40 people. These are best for interaction with a leader seated at the head of the setup. Audiovisual is usually best set up at the open end of the seating.
Theater
Appropriate for large sessions and short lectures that do not require extensive note-taking. This is a convenient setup to use before breaking into discussion or role-playing groups because chairs can be moved.
Reception
Stand-up social function where beverages and light foods are served. Foods may be presented on small buffet tables or passed by servers. May precede a meal function.
Schoolroom or Classroom
The most desirable setup for medium to large-size lectures. Requires a relatively large room. Tables provide attendees with space for spreading out materials and taking notes.
