As part of ongoing efforts to make Portland a healthier place to live, work, and conduct business, DoubleTree by Hilton Portland seeks first to purchase equipment, products and materials that are recyclable, made of recycled content and reduce waste. Per our Purchasing Pledge, we will work to mitigate fuel waste and create demand for environmentally friendly products by purchasing local products from like-minded vendors.
