Sustainability & Community Engagement at Sheraton San Diego Resort

Sustainability & Community Engagement

At Sheraton San Diego Resort, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and supporting the community in which we are located. Enjoy our waterfront setting on San Diego Bay while knowing your stay is responsibly managed.

Our Focus on Sustainability

From reducing waste, water, and energy use to responsibly sourcing our food & beverage ingredients, our sustainable practices incorporate:

Green Seal Gold Certified

Sheraton San Diego Resort became the first U.S. hotel to earn Green Seal Gold Certification in 2010, recognizing rigorous standards for resource conservation, waste reduction, sustainable purchasing, and environmental management. That commitment continues today through ongoing sustainability efforts and was recognized with the San Diego County Lodging Association's 2026 Good Earthkeeping Award.

Powering a Better Stay

Two on-site hydrogen fuel cells provide approximately 75% of the resort's electricity, while electric airport shuttles and five on-site EV charging stations support lower-emission transportation. Additional investments help reduce natural gas use and support more responsible operations across the resort.

Purpose in Practice

Thoughtful choices can make a meaningful difference. Across the resort, WaterSense-labeled fixtures help reduce water use, a food dehydrator supports food waste reduction and composting efforts, and paperless resources and environmentally conscious cleaning products help reduce our impact.

Our Focus on Community Engagement

From hosting charitable events to supporting beloved waterfront traditions, our community engagement efforts include:

Paddling With Purpose

In 2026, we welcomed the SUPer Hero Show Down to San Diego Bay, bringing the community together in support of Fisher House Southern California. The event raised funds to help provide a home away from home for military and veteran families while their loved ones receive medical care.

Meetings That Give Back

Groups gathering at Sheraton San Diego Resort can make their events more meaningful through opportunities that give back. Select group offers have included a $1 donation per group room night to a charity of the group's choice, helping meetings create an impact that reaches beyond the resort.

Celebrating Our Community

In 2026, we proudly supported the Port of San Diego's Big Bay Boom as a Platinum Sponsor, helping bring one of the region's most celebrated waterfront traditions to San Diego Bay and the community we call home.
