Building a better world

Our Environmental, Social and Governance Strategy

We want to make the world a better place. To always be thinking about the wider picture. That’s why we take responsibility for our impact on the planet; support local communities and always push ourselves to do better. ​

Our properties

We’ve created robust environmental and social programs to help reduce our energy usage and the resources each hotel needs.​


​ Our progress so far​:

• 100% renewable electricity is used across our properties in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Croatia, Hungary and Austria.​ 

• Environmental building certifications in some of our properties (e.g. BREEAM). ​ 

• Our meetings and events are 100% carbon compensated. ​ ​ 


What we’re working on​:

• Detailed climate risk assessments are planned for some of our properties​.

• Improved waste management practices.​ 

• Removing all single-use plastics from hotel rooms.

Our local communities
