The company is committed to allocating the necessary financial and human resources, within its operational constraints, to support environmental improvement and the prevention of pollution in line with this Environmental Policy.

The Board of Directors accepts overall responsibility for the environmental performance of Sketchley Grange Hotel & Spa, and the Owners endorse this policy in recognition of that responsibility and the company’s environmental strategy.

Sketchley Grange Hotel & Spa is committed to protecting the environment by complying with all relevant UK and EU environmental legislation and regulatory requirements, as well as appropriate national standards.

We are dedicated to the continual improvement of our environmental performance through the establishment and implementation of measurable objectives and targets. These will be documented, maintained, monitored, and regularly reviewed, taking into account audit results, legislative updates, advances in technology and scientific knowledge, and organisational or industry changes.

Sketchley Grange Hotel & Spa is committed to preventing pollution by reducing or eliminating waste and emissions at source wherever possible. This includes promoting reuse and recycling internally and externally, and ensuring controlled disposal methods are used where necessary, provided these are both economically and technically viable.

To support this commitment, the company has identified the following key environmental objectives:

• Using information technology to reduce paper consumption
• Recycling paper and packaging materials
• Minimising solid waste generation
• Using more environmentally friendly fuels in company vehicles where practical
• Planning routes efficiently to reduce fuel consumption and transport costs
• Encouraging home working where feasible to reduce commuting
• Promoting the use of public transport among employees where practical

Sketchley Grange Hotel & Spa is also committed to using materials, equipment, and procedures that pose the least environmental risk, where economically feasible, both within its own operations and, where applicable, on client premises with client approval.

All employees will receive appropriate information and training on environmental awareness to support and enhance the company’s environmental performance. This Environmental Policy will be communicated to all staff.

This Environmental Policy will be reviewed regularly and made available to the public.
