ECOsmart for Hotels Venues &Serviced Apartments

Our Future First Charter has always been about turning ambition into action, creating meaningful improvements that benefit our customers, our people and the communities around our venues. Achieving ECOsmart Gold across every venue is independent recognition of that commitment and gives organisers confidence that sustainability is embedded throughout our operations, whichever venue they choose. As expectations around sustainable events continue to grow, we want to make it easier for organisers to select venues that support their own environmental goals. This certification demonstrates that sustainability isn’t an initiative running alongside our business – it’s part of how we operate every day.

Greengage is constantly trying to develop, grow and improve – it’s not just a certification. You don’t just get your ECOsmart certification and a “there you go for the year”. Some others are quite like that. But with Greengage, we benefit from a support network. I’ve met some really interesting hoteliers and people from other kinds of service industries. It’s so much more than just a certificate on your wall – with active engagement, information, and ongoing development.

These certifications are a fantastic reflection of the work taking place across our portfolio. Sustainability has long been an important focus for our venues, and we’re incredibly proud to see venues across the portfolio recognised at Platinum, Gold and Silver level. Together with Greengage, we’re helping venues benchmark their progress, share best practice and provide event organisers with greater confidence and transparency.
