Environmental Initiatives

Here at the Priory Rooms, we are strongly committed to improving our sustainability as an organisation and are always looking at new ways in which we can develop new environmentally-friendly initiatives. Below are just some of the ways in which we are trying to do so:

• Fair-trade refreshments – our tea, coffee, hot chocolate and sugar are all Fair-trade
• All of the water is bottled on site in recycled glass bottles
• All of our waste packaging and paper is recycled
• Staff are well informed and diligent when it comes to turning off lights and electrical appliances if not in use
• Last year we invested £35k to replace the glass and insulate the Atrium part of the building
• We also invested £10k in insulating the roof and walls in the rest of the building
• Suppliers are chosen based on their sustainable credentials
• Being located within walking distance of three mainline railway stations, we always encourage delegates to travel by train
• All of the paper that we purchase is 100% recycled
• We have upgraded our Building Management System with more sensors to accurately control our heating system
• We are looking at installing PIR sensors for the lighting in all back of house areas
