eco-friendly Wisconsin Resort

Go Green Program At Grand Geneva Resort

The Travel Green Wisconsin program is designed to protect the beauty and vitality of Wisconsin’s landscape and natural resources. Wisconsin’s natural resources, wildlife and cultural diversity are among its most important tourism assets. Efforts to preserve them for future generations serve the best interest of Wisconsin travelers, as well as its tourism industry and the state’s overall economy.

Travel Green Wisconsin is a voluntary program that reviews, certifies and recognizes tourism businesses and organizations that have made a commitment to reducing their environmental impact. Specifically, the program encourages participants to evaluate their operations, set goals and take specific actions towards environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

Natural Vegetable and Herb Garden

The Natural Vegetable and Herb Garden was developed as a fresh, local and sustainable green initiative to supply Grand Geneva with fresh field to plate produce. It is used as an educational tool for our culinary students who tend and track the growth and development of the garden. All of the vegetables and herbs were donated by Bonnie Plants in Milton, WI.

Tesla Charging Stations

Overnight resort guests and the general public may take advantage of our two complimentary Tesla High Powered charging stations located across from the Main Lodge entrance. The units charge at 80 amps and can provide a fast charge. Please ask a valet/bell attendant for assistance.

Clean the World Partnership

Grand Geneva is partners with the Clean the World program. Through this partnership, we collect leftover soap and bottled amenities from our guest rooms which are then redistributed to children and families in need. This also fulfills an environmental mission by preventing waste going into landfills.
