Sustainable Meetings in Honolulu

The Waikiki Collection recognizes our unique kuleana, or responsibility, to preserve Hawaii, one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. As a pioneer in sustainability, together with our guests, associates, partners, vendors and owners, we are committed to doing our part to build a better tomorrow, for Hawaii and the world.

We welcome like-minded organizations and offer ways to reduce our carbon footprint and hold sustainable meetings.

3 Ways To Travel More Sustainably with Waikiki Collection

  • Sustainable Hawaii Trip Easy Way One

    We offer water-filling stations to complement your meeting space or event. These stations make it easy to stay hydrated and lessen your impact on the world around you. ​We encourage all guests to pack a reusable water bottle to lessen the need for single-use plastics. Our event team can assist with custom branded bottles for your event.

  • Sustainable Hawaii Trip Easy Way Two

    Experience Oahu on a more meaningful level by giving back to the land, ocean, or the community. The Waikiki Collection offers various voluntourism options to complement your meetings and create a meaningful connection between our guests and the island.

  • Sustainable Hawaii Trip Easy Way Three

    Hawaii is at the forefront of conservation initiatives and was the first state to prohibit sunscreen containing the coral-harming chemicals oxybenzone and octinoxate. To further support this effort, we encourage reef-safe sunscreen to help protect the ocean's fragile ecosystem.​

    Commitment on Farm to Table

    Supporting Hawaii Businesses

    The Waikiki Collection is committed to supporting Hawaii's farmers, makers and business owners by using more than 70% local produce and fresh fish, eggs, and poultry by dollar amount in 2023.
