Environment

As part of the Webb Hotels and Travel Group, we have a firm commitment to the environment and undertake to manage our business and resources wisely.

Our group policy reflects this approach with the result that we have many ongoing green initiatives and operate with a strict approach to minimising our effect on the environment.

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 manner we can reduce this impact.

We have therefore set up committees (or green teams!) of employees to
implement new ideas and working methods to reduce waste and our consumption
of energy and water.

Environmental activities so far across the Group.
