 In association with GREEN TOURISM BUSINESS SCHEME
Sustainability and green issues are now very much mainstream, with governments, businesses and individuals all involved. Tourism, as one of the main economic drivers in the UK, has its part to play. That is where the Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS) comes in. This is the basis to our policy:
- We aim to source 70% of our ingredients for the kitchen from within a 60 mile radius.
- We have reduced the number of New World Wines on our list offering instead traditionally crafted lighted European Wines.
- We have installed Low Energy light bulbs in all our corridors and public areas and are introducing them where possible throughout the Hotel.
- We have introduced a strict re-cycling policy which has seen a 60% reduction in our waste that we send to landfill sites.
- We have introduced ecologically friendly detergents and cleaning products not only for our bedrooms but also in the kitchen.
- We are working closely with The Carbon Trust with the aim of reducing our power consumption by some 25%.
- It is our ambition to reduce our carbon emissions by some 30%, equivalent to 60 tonnes pa.
