ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY


Through our partnership with the Carbon Trust and implementation of environmental best practices, The Clandeboye Lodge Hotel is on target to reduce its carbon emissions by 100 tonnes on an annual basis. To achieve this we realise that we need the help of our guests, employees and suppliers to continue to improve our environmental sustainability and therefore – in a small way – helping us to reduce the effects of climate change.


Our low carbon initiatives to date include:

  • Raise awareness of energy conservation amongst the hotel’s employees and motivate them to reduce waste
  • Installation of motion sensors for lighting in guest room corridors, production areas and stores
  • Monitoring exterior temperatures to prevent unnecessary heating and air- conditioning in guest rooms, conference & banqueting suites and public areas
  • Programming of refrigeration equipment to prevent unnecessary cooling
  • Installation of smart energy metering equipment to monitor energy consumption
  • Installation of thermally efficient Kingspan Kooltherm cavity and roofing boards insulation
  • Replacing bulk hot water storage systems with instantaneous generation of hot water
  • Minimising waste by recycling glass, paper, cardboard and plastics

Our Guests Contribution

Every year, more than 15,000 guests stay in our hotel, while a further 70,000 attend events or dine in the Clanbrasserie. Whilst staying with us, we ask guests to build on our environmental  efforts by switching off lights and heating when leaving their room, re-use towels when possible and unless requested otherwise, we’ll refresh bed linen only after the second night’s stay, minimising the environmental impact that laundering creates.


Our Employees Contribution

At the recruitment and induction stages, we explain our environmental philosophy to all new employees. Jointly we identify carbon reduction opportunities through energy, waste and water management and smart metering initiatives. By reducing associated costs, we can as a team make a small contribution to reducing climate change whilst maintaining competitive, value for money services for our customers.


Our Suppliers Contribution

By sourcing quality, seasonal ingredients from local producers for our Clanbrasserie restaurant and events menus, we’re actively supporting the use of environmentally sustainable commodities.

By implementing best practice procurement and logistics processes for food, non-food and beverage commodities, we have also been able to reduce the frequency of deliveries and associated CO2 emissions.
