Sustainability

At Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, we are honored to hold ENERGY STAR® certification—a distinction we have maintained since 2019, when we were the only hotel in Minneapolis to achieve this recognition. Each day, we take deliberate, meaningful actions to reduce our environmental footprint, continually striving to lessen our impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.

World of Care is Hyatt’s approach to caring for the planet, people and responsible business. To learn more, visit Hyatt.com/WorldOfCare

Waste and Circularity

Our commitment to sustainability also extends to responsible waste management practices:

Mobile entry available through the World of Hyatt app, reducing the need for plastic keycards; physical keycards are reused
A partnership with Second Harvest Farms that diverts food scraps from waste streams and repurposes them as livestock feed for local pig farmers
Filtered water hydration stations located throughout public areas to reduce single-use plastic water bottle consumption
Compostable or recyclable straws and to-go food containers
A comprehensive recycling program for glass, plastics, paper, cardboard, batteries, metals, and food oils

Our Food Philosophy

Hyatt’s Thoughtfully Sourced, Carefully Served philosophy guides our approach to selecting ingredients that support the well-being of people, communities, and the planet. We proudly serve cage-free eggs in our restaurants and at all events. Our menus are seasonally curated to minimize waste while maximizing the use of more sustainable, high-quality products. Additionally, we work with vendors who share our commitment to responsible food production and farming practices.
