CONSIDERATE HOTELIERS

In order to meet the key requirements of sustainability, The Bloomsbury set up systems for paper and battery recycling in all offices, with additional facilities to be installed throughout staff areas this year.

Several energy-saving initiatives have been put in place. Energy-saving LED Lighting and LED Panels have been installed in many areas of the hotel. Air Conditioning control has been automated to minimize excessive use. Aerators are being installed in the taps in guest bathrooms to reduce the flow of water without affecting the pressure – these will also be installed in back of house areas over the coming year.

For 2019, The Bloomsbury strives to further integrate sustainability into their teams by recruiting Green Champions from each department to be responsible for promoting green initiatives. They are also planning to set up a ‘Green’ profile and logo which can be used on collateral including their website and social media platforms

Plastic water dispensers are due to be replaced with water fountains; furthermore they are planning to organize plastic recycling workshops in order for staff members to come up with creative ways to turn plastic waste into usable objects for the hotels, such as coasters for drinks or other items to engage guests with too.

Having completed a full inventory of all single-use plastic items in the hotel, steps have been taken to reduce overall plastic consumption. All staff have been gifted refillable aluminium water bottles, paper cups have been introduced in the staff canteen –and paper straws can be found in all their delicious cocktails.
