When planning for more conscientious meetings, you need a sustainability-focused destination.
Whether your goal is to reduce the environmental impacts from your meeting or create a social impact while meeting, Los Angeles accommodates. A model for sustainability, the Los Angeles Convention Center has green initiatives in place to help you minimize the environmental impacts of your meeting or convention. These include energy conservation and renewable energy, water conservation, recycling and waste diversion, sustainable product purchasing, education and communication programs, alternative transportation options and more.
In addition, you can plan your attendees’ stays at one of LA’s green-leading hotels – many earning Green Seal™ and LEED Certification with energy-efficient lighting and HVAC systems, water-saving fixtures and recycling programs. Green hotels near the Los Angeles Convention Center include JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles, The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites and Sheraton Grand Los Angeles. Green hotels at or around the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) include Hilton Los Angeles Airport, The Westin Los Angeles Airport, Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel and Hyatt Regency Los Angeles International Airport.
Beyond indoor meeting spaces and accommodations is the opportunity to take in nature and experience the abundant benefits of California’s outdoors. Although a major metropolis, Los Angeles is surrounded by beautiful green spaces, shorelines, trails, gardens and more for attendees to enjoy. These provide built-in green space and wellness-minded offerings to your group.
And when it comes to efficiently and responsibly getting your attendees around LA, there are many eco-friendly and accessible transportation options. Notably, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) launched an $18 million program, Universal Basic Mobility, to provide more affordable, accessible and sustainable public transit options in South LA. This program is in the works and provides free or low-cost transportation opportunities that include electric carsharing, charging facilities, on-demand shuttles and e-bikes.
From environmental to social impacts, the team at Los Angeles Tourism can help connect you with different opportunities to involve your group and help them make a difference while meeting. Programs are available to meet your company’s or organization’s goals, from ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility).
