We CARE About Our Environmental Impact.

We are passionate about investing in future generations and the future of the environment. Through continued local partnerships, we aim to champion environmentally-friendly practices and social impact. We consistently execute a complete waste diversion program, made possible by deliberate product sourcing that effectively eliminates single-use plastic from service ware items. We also do our part to protect water resources and make sure our water consumption is responsible. The summary below provides a snapshot of some of the program achievements in 2022:

86.6% waste diverted from landfill and produced 9% less waste than in 2021
Approx. 4,000 single-use bottles avoided with on-site water refill station
Compostable alternatives used to support single-use plastic free service ware policy
7,600 plastic bottles replaced with climate neutral aluminum canned water provided by Open Water
Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon footprint analysis conducted annually
58 temporary jobs created for Malibu unemployed
