Environment.

As part of the Webb Hotels and Travel Group, we have a firm commitment to the environment and undertake to manage our business and resources wisely.

Our group policy reflects this approach with the result that we have many ongoing green initiatives and operate with a strict approach to minimising our affect on the environment.

We recognise the fact that the nature of our services results in an overall impact on the environment and that by conducting our business in a responsible manner we can reduce this impact.

We have therefore set up three committees (or green teams!) of employees to implement new ideas and working methods to reduce waste and our consumption of energy and water.

Environmental activities so far.

• Water saving devices have been installed in the toilets
• Water butts have been installed so we can collect rain water for the plants
• We are recycling as much glass, paper and plastic as is possible
• Lamps and lights have been fitted with low energy bulbs to reduce energy consumption
• In our hotel restaurants we are committed to sourcing produce locally to reduce the number of food miles travelled, thereby reducing our carbon footprint
• Air conditioning units set to optimum minimum temperatures
• Energy consumption tracked monthly by cost per room
• Kitchen waste is composted
• A bedlinen and towel usage policy is in place in our hotels to reduce linen consumption
• Waste items donated to schools and charities
• Gradual replacement of boilers to combination low energy boilers
