In February 2006 The Vineyard Hotel & Spa was able to make significant progress with their environmental program.

This initially began with the establishment of an Environmental Committee manned by staff members from the hotel and chaired by Chris van Zyl, the hotels Environmental Officer. Committee members have been given portfolios such as secretary, treasurer, communications, procurement, resources & technology, housekeeping, waste and product & services. The committee has tried to involve all departments by getting volunteer members onto the committee so that they can monitor and initiate new environmental practices in all areas of the Vineyard Hotel & Spa.
