Environmental Policy CSR

The Best Western Premier Heronston Hotel & Spa operates with a culture that recognises responsibilities to society to maintain safety and quality in all our operations. We recognise that the hotel's activities affect many people in the local community.

It is the policy of the hotel to carry out all measures reasonably practicable to seek to meet, exceed or develop all necessary requirements to improve the hotel's impact on society.

The hotel will comply with all environmental regulations, legislation and approved codes of practice relating to the processes and activities of the Company.

The aims will be wherever possible:

Assess the environmental effects of the Company's activities in its operation.
Reduce the amount of waste produced.
Reduce the consumption of raw materials, water and fuels.
Reduce and/or limit the production of pollutants to the environment.
Limit the noise in and around the site.
Support the activities of local organisations and businesses, thus ensuring the hotel continues to have a positive impact on the community both day to day operations and in the future.

The Company will strive to enhance environmental awareness and understanding in all employees, suppliers, customers, sub-contractors and the public. Where possible the Company will provide information and assistance to customers on environmental issues arising from its products and services.
