Sustainability

We are passionate about sustainability at every level of the company and are proud to own and operate the first ultra-luxury Gold Certified LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) hotel in Southern California. Montage Beverly Hills has earned Gold certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC) LEED for New Construction rating system.

This is the first certified ultra-luxury hotel in Southern California for LEED for New Construction, one of just four Gold certified hotels worldwide designated by this third-party benchmarking system designed to encourage the design, the construction and the operations of more sustainable buildings. Montage Beverly Hills is also the first newly constructed mixed-use hotel and residential project to be LEED certified as a single development, denoting it as a high performance building that is a responsible, efficient and healthy place to live and work.

We have established an executive-level position to create, integrate and manage all aspects of responsible sustainability actions within our enterprise. With this commitment, we will continue to refer to the USGBC and the LEED rating systems in order to benchmark our success. This includes integration of development, design, construction, operations, and community involvement. With this as our focus, we have defined a vision which is the foundation for all of our decisions and actions relating to sustainability.

Operationally we have developed "green" operating principles guided by a management level Environmental Impact Group (EIG) which provides a myriad of internal programs. This includes; environmentally preferred purchasing (EPP) programs, waste management programs, water-quality management practices, energy management, and green housekeeping initiatives.
