Bronze level grading from Green Tourism
(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - February 13th, 2015 - The Montcalm at The Brewery London City hotel is a luxury residence at the heart of the bustling English capital that has recently achieved a top environmental award for its work towards sustainability. The excellent accommodation accomplished a Bronze level grading from the largest environmental accreditation scheme in the country – Green Tourism. The not-for-profit organisation praises hotels that are taking concerns about the environment seriously by tackling important issues around waste, energy and water.
The Montcalm at The Brewery is an inspiration to other hotels and has for a long time been an advocate of promoting green policies. The proactive measures it has taken include complying with environmental legislation and committing to future requirements. The accommodation seeks to conserve natural resources through the responsible use of water and energy, and also by working with suppliers who have similar policies with consideration of the environment. The most crucial step the hotel has taken is that the residence’s environmental team ensures that its efforts are constantly reviewed and updated making sure that each staff member is aware of the changes.
Everyday environmental procedures include recycling of cardboard, paper, plastic, glass, cooking oil and toner cartridges. Energy is saved through the use of low energy light bulbs and by utilising motion detectors in areas of the hotel where lights do not need to be on all the time. There is a modern key-card control system installed in every spacious room to control lighting, heating and air-conditioning when the room is not in use. There has been a significant reduction of water consumption in the room’s en-suite bathrooms through new toilet flush systems. The hotel has also cut down on waste packaging by buying bulk food items and cleaning materials. The careful consideration taken to enforce the changes has allowed the residence to be recognised for its great work in improving the environment.
