We understand our responsibility as stewards of our planet and therefore strive to ensure we are protecting and enhancing our environment for many generations to come

Faithlegg ESG Dashboard

We at Faithlegg are committed to taking action as outlined below:

To achieve sound and sustainable environmental practices throughout our hotel
To produce an Environmental Plan which outlines our objectives, targets and planned actions for that year. This will be reviewed and published annually.
To adhere to and comply with all relevant legislation
To minimise waste and water consumption levels where possible
To facilitate for and encourage our customers, suppliers and contractors participation in our efforts
To ensure adequate training is provided for each employee to meet our objectives
To openly communicate our policies and practices to interested parties
To continuously monitor and record our environmental impacts and compare our performance against the targets and objectives we have outlined and set for ourselves within our annual policy
To review our equipment regularly and upgrade to more efficient and environmentally friendly options if necessary
To continue to ensure our menu provenance meets our ethos of sourcing locally where possible

Our efforts towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable hotel to date include:

Bedrooms

We have been completing a move to paperless guest directories and room service menus, instead displaying all the required information on Smart televisions in the rooms.

Each room contains both a general waste bin and a recycling bin as well as stickers outlining our towel replacement policy to encourage guests to take part in our efforts.

We have replaced our water bottles with fully recyclable Tetra Pak cartons and installing dispensers for hygiene products to minimse single use plastics

Waste Management

There is a full range of recycling bins installed both front of house, back of house and in the kitchen along with strict usage instructions and rigorous staff training to minimse contamination.

There are separate colour coded bins in the yard for general waste, recycling, glass, food waste, baled cardboard and used cooking oil to ensure correct separation and disposal of waste responsibly.

We are eliminating single use plastics accross the hotel with tetra pak water containers and hygiene product dispensers replacing plastic bottles, compostable straws in use in the bars and compostable takeaway containers for coffees and food products.

Energy Usage

All existing halogen and incandescent lightbulbs are being retrofitted to LED which will result in a significasnt decrease in KWHs per year
