We were the first hotel in the country to employ a full time Sustainability Manager. We have a Green Team with a member from every department who meet regularly to discuss the hotel's sustainable initiatives. The hotel supports Cornwall Wildlife Trust, Surfers Against Sewage and the local children's hospice. Unwanted furniture, sheets, curtains, crockery etc. is donated to St. Petrocs homeless charity. Whenever an appliance needs replacing, a more environmentally friendly version is sought. The hotel has adopted the local Mawgan Porth beach and holds beach cleans four times a year involving staff, guests and the local community. The data collected from these beach cleans is sent to the Marine Conservation Society. We are constantly improving our environmental performance, as shown by our decision to implement ISO14001, invest in a heat recapture system for our refrigerators and we have just switched to a renewable green energy tariff for our electricity. Our green mezzanine informs guests of our sustainable initiatives, and our eco-awards are displayed near to the reception area.
