Since April 2021 the team at The Rose Hotel have undertaken vigorous training to implement an effective Environmental Management System to reduce the hotel’s future carbon emissions. We have achieved this by doing the following:
1. Measure - quantify our usage of utilities, including waste, water and energy
2. Observe - our staff’s behaviour around utility usage and our hotel’s ability to manage and conserve resources effectively
3. Implement – ensure the Green Action Plan, devised by the green team, is employed successfully
4. Monitor & Report - after reducing the hotel’s carbon emissions, we are committed to monitoring our progress every month.
Our Green Team meets regularly to discuss ways we can take our commitment to sustainability further, and deliver on our Mission Statement:
The Rose Hotel is committed to continually striving towards becoming a more sustainable operation by reducing our carbon footprint every year.
We aim to reduce waste annually, especially in the areas of landfill and food waste.
Energy reduction and savings by monitoring lighting, equipment and heating systems is a high priority.
Water conservation is a vital part of our sustainability efforts; with the successful observation of staff and customer behaviour, it has been possible to implement processes that reduce our water consumption.
