ANAHEIM, Calif.
The Hilton Anaheim has been awarded the Green Seal Bronze certification for its dedication to environmental stewardship. Featuring 1,500 guest rooms and 120,000 square feet of meeting space, the property is the largest hotel in Southern California to receive the Green Seal nod.
In order to receive certification, a hotel must meet and adhere to stringent guidelines set out by the standard. These include requirements in waste management, energy efficiency, water conservation, wastewater management and green procurement. A certified property’s records, processes and procedures are evaluated and an on-site audit of the property is conducted. Certified hotels submit to annual monitoring to assure continued compliance.
Hilton Anaheim met the requirements for the award by establishing initiatives that include, but are not limited to: launching a recycling program throughout the entire hotel, waste minimization via the donation of any leftover food to approved local shelters or food banks, replacing of all TV’s, DVD players, alarm clocks, hair dryers, coffee/tea makers in all its rooms with energy efficient products and updating all indoor lighting.
