Sustainability Statement
As a proud event venue in Dorset, we have taken significant steps to prove our commitment to sustaining the local environment. Below, you’ll read all about what we’re doing to keep our carbon footprint as minimal as possible, as well as proactive steps we’ve taken towards ultimate sustainability. It is a company mission of ours to continuously improve our environmental performance.
Green credentials:
- We have completely removed the use of all plastic straws from our company due to the damage they cause to the environment and marine life.
- We use biodegradable and recyclable plastic wherever possible.
- We use Ecotricity (the greenest energy provider in the UK), as our energy supplier in our offices and Italian Villa kitchen for electricity and gas – this is the biggest way companies can have a positive impact the environment!!
- Robust recycling programme, including both kitchen and office waste products.
- We use recycled materials in the office (including buying recycled paper only).
- We always avoid printing documents where possible.
- We work with local suppliers as much as possible.
- We have changed from using plastic cups for staff to glasses/mugs and paper, fully recyclable cups when necessary.
- We have installed time-out light sensors in the staff areas, so that lights aren’t left on.
- Our whole venue is being fitted with LED energy-saving lighting.
- We have had high-speed hand dryers fitted to the guest toilets, to cut-out the wastage of paper towels.
Looking local:
We also like to support local suppliers by buying the bulk of our produce locally in Dorset and Hampshire wherever possible. The truth is that we are incredibly lucky to be based in Dorset and we want to celebrate the incredible produce available. From pork to pumpkin, shellfish to strawberries and everything in between – we will always fly the flag for dynamic and delicious Dorset delicacies!
