Environmental Management Policy

In August 2025 the hotel was recognised for its efforts in energy management and carbon reduction with ISO 50001 certification. This is internationally recognised standard that provides a comprehensive framework for organisations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve energy performance. It focuses on enhancing energy efficiency, optimising usage, reducing consumption, and ultimately lowering environmental impact. This milestone on our sustainability journey underscores our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and maximising the environmental impact of our operations as we continue to drive more meaningful progress towards a more sustainable future.
