At this time in world history we believe that as a business we have a responsibility not only to minimise our impact but also to make environmental policy a key and integral part of our business strategy. For us this translates in to three main areas of action and planning.
- On an immediate level we are committed to day to day policy which will minimise our environmental impact. Examples would be that we recycle glass, tin and cardboard and that we use energy saving bulbs wherever possible.
- In the medium term we are implementing strategies which we see as over and above the basic day to day policies. Examples of these strategies would be the recent setting up of our own facility to recycle used cooking oil into bio-diesel. Also, in the winter of 2007 we replaced all of our sunlounge windows with double glazed units.
- We are also looking at the long term. For us this involves looking at ways in which we can run the hotel using an increasing amount of renewable energy sources. In January 2009 we fitted solar panels which will help with heating our water. We are watching the developments in wind energy with interest.
