Green Tourism, Our Environment
Channings Awarded Silver Level Award...
We recognise the fact that the nature of our services results in an overall impact on the environment and that by conducting our business in a responsible and thoughtful manner, we can reduce this impact and act to improve the quality of the environment where appropriate.
We have recently been awarded the Silver level of the Green Tourism Business Scheme, an environmental award scheme which has helped businesses across Scotland in the tourist industry lessen their impact on the environment. We have implemented several environmental measures, which include:
- Recycling as much glass, plastic, paper, cardboard and cans as possible, including all the newspapers left behind in the bedrooms.
- Fitting all the standard lamps in the bedrooms and many more lights throughout the hotel with low energy bulbs to reduce our energy consumption.
- Water saving devices are fitted in the toilet cisterns and urinals and the bathrooms all have aerated taps, both of which help to save water in our hotel.
There are many more measures in place in the hotel and our committed 'Green Team' meet every month to discuss new ideas for expanding our efforts further.
Please contact the hotel's environmental manager Marshall Berry if you have any queries or suggestions regarding our environmental efforts.
