JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa at Ko Olina has been recognized by the State of Hawaii with a "Hawaii Green Business Award" for its outstanding efforts in sustainable and environmentally conscience business practice.
Hawaii Governor Neil Abercrombie presented the award on March 17, 2011, applauding the successful efforts by the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort on Oahu. The oceanfront resort was lauded for its implemented green measures such as lighting retrofits and provision of recycling bins in common areas, as well as its exemplary energy and water conservation practices, pollution prevention, solid waste reduction and recycling efforts.
The JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa – a standout among Oahu luxury hotels, diverted 1 million pounds from the landfill by recycling and converting waste to generate electricity in 2010. The hotel also reduced electricity consumption by 2.5 million kilowatt hours over the last three years through a comprehensive energy conservation program.
