The Planning Committee for the 2008 WDAFS Annual Meeting sought a host hotel that embraced sustainable business practices. The Doubletree Hotel and Executive Meeting Center - Lloyd Center was Portland's First Sustainable Hotel and was also the first lodging property in Oregon to achieve a Green Seal certification. Sustainability is the hotel’s mission, and each employee helps make the difference. From their kitchen staff to upper management, they are in the business of helping the planet.

The Doubletree Lloyd Center, which has been recognized by the City of Portland, the US Environmental Protection Agency, and in the local and national press for its sustainability efforts, is proud to be the leading Portland hotel in environmentally sound “Green” practices. In addition, the Doubletree understands that sustainability is a journey, and they are actively involved in the ongoing process of improving their operations and conserving our resources. They recently initiated the first Carbon Calculator specifically created for a hotel with a goal to help its guests offset the amount of carbon dioxide produced through traveling and staying at its property.
