Our 2007-2008 Sustainability Report

Community Partnerships

The Doubletree Hotel Portland understands that our community is the place where our employees and guests live and work.

We’re happy to give back to our community, and encourage our staff to make a difference. Each month, we serve meals at both of Portland’s Ronald McDonald houses to families in need. We also support events that raise funds and aware-ness for local programs such as the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Race for the Cure, and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital.

On a daily basis, we work closely with a number of local and national organiza-tions to share ideas and improve our environmental practices. Our employees help clean the park that borders the hotel on an ongoing basis. And, as part of our “Teaching Kids to CARE” program, the Doubletree partnered with Sun-nyside Environmental School to “Think Trees.” Volunteer teams from the hotel led interactive lessons around conserving and protecting this precious natural resource. And to celebrate Arbor Day this year, Doubletree staff will partner with grade schools across the US and Canada to plant more than 10,000 trees. These efforts help teach our children the importance of conservation.

As part of our ongoing sustainability efforts, the Doubletree is pleased to have

Greetings from the General Manager

Welcome to the Doubletree Hotel Portland.

We understand that our guests have a choice of where to stay, and we are constantly looking to improve our guests’ experience. We have just completed renovating over half of our guests room, our lobby, and other public areas. We think you’ll like what you see.

Our professional staff works around the clock to ensure that your stay or event is comfortable and enjoyable. And though it’s not as visible, our employees have another mission: making our hotel as sustainable as possible. From check-in to check-out, we are able to provide you with choices like carbon offsets, recyclable food and drink containers, and in-room recycling.

And, without you realizing it, we’ll compost your leftover breakfast, light your room with energy efficient fixtures, serve you locally-grown produce, and help power it all with renewable energy.

We still have a long way to go, but are excited to look back and see how far we’ve come.

Thanks for listening - we hope to see you again soon.

Steve Faulstick

General Manager

Leaders in Sustainable Hospitality

The Doubletree Portland is proud to be a regional leader in green-

ing the hospitality industry. We have been recognized by the State of

Oregon, the City of Portland, the US Environmental Protection Agency,

and in the local and national press for our efforts.

2007 Accomplishments

We understand that sustainability is an all-encompassing goal, and we

are involved in the ongoing process of improving our operations and

conserving our resources.

Here are a few of the changes we were able to adopt this year:

• Converted to a 100% non-smoking hotel as of January 1, 2008.

• Instituted a parking discount for overnight guests driving hybrid or electric vehicles.

• Introduced a “true” Biodiesel van for guest transportation.

• Met our goal for increasing our renewable energy use by 10% through a purchasing partnership with Pacific Power.

Future Steps on Our Sustainable Journey

It seems that the more we learn about sustainability, the more we realize how many opportunities exist.

Working as a team, we try to set reasonable goals and identify areas for improvement in each department.

Our goals for increased sustainability in 2008 include:

• Increase purchasing of foods produced locally (within 100 miles) by 10% over 2007.

• Improve our advocacy within the hospitality industry through involvement with trade associations and sustainability-focused organizations.

• Reduce our carbon footprint by an additional 10% by the end of 2008.

• Increase our diversion ratio of waste diverted from local land-fills to over 75%.

It is our sincere hope that we are able to look back each year to measure our progress, and to see how far we have left to go in the years ahead.
