sustainability

Sustainability is as important to VAI Resort as it is to our guests. By adopting sustainable practices, our goal is to reduce our carbon footprint, limit waste, and promote responsible resource use, making conferences and events more environmentally friendly and efficient. We also feel that practicing sustainability helps protect the future of the meeting and events industry, ensuring the industry remains viable and can continue to thrive in the long term. We are all in this together, and meetings and events are more powerful…when we are all together.

Some examples of our planned sustainable practices include: 

HOTEL
  • Partnering with a third party that fulfills sustainability practices to launder/process all of VAI Resort's linens, terry, uniforms, F&B linens.
  • Offering bulk guest room amenities to eliminate one-time use amenity bottles for shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and lotion.
  • Eliminating plastic guest room keys and replacing with a sustainable option.
  • Utilizing bottle refill stations throughout the property.
FOOD & BEVERAGE

  • Sustainable fish purchasing: VAI Resort will ensure a minimum of 75% of seafood purchase come from sustainable sources as governed by Marine Stewardship Council, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and World Wildlife Fund.
  • Partnering with Chefs to End Hunger to redistribute excess food from waste to charitable organizations to feed the needy.
  • Utilizing ECOLAB innovations with chemical cleaning products to reduce environmental and health impact. Additionally we will utilize technology to maximize efficiencies in ware washing.
  • Aiming to reduce our carbon footprint by utilizing local service/vendors.
