Sustainability at Harvey’s Point

We are delighted to be members of the Fifty Shades Greener Program – Fifty Shades Greener is the world’s leading sustainability company providing education, certification and consultancy to businesses, tourism destinations, governments and educational providers.

As an industry leader, we believe that building a culture around sustainability is our prime duty. The dedicated Harvey’s Point ‘Green Team’ is working tirelessly to improve our environmental practices including energy, single-use plastic and water usage. It means that we are measuring water, energy and waste usage on a monthly basis and trying to reduce consumption, where possible. We were delighted to achieve a Silver Level Award in October 2022 and in May 2023 we were awarded the Gold Level Award. It is a journey,  a journey that we are excited to be part of. In 2025, we are focusing on building staff awareness around sustainability. Also, after a careful business practices review, the following actions were taken:

Sustainability is a long-term journey; our efforts will continue throughout 2025. Our main goals for this year are:

• Continue to replace our kitchen equipment with energy-saving equipment
• Continue to work on Green Purchasing Plan in line with sustainability principles
• Continue to review all products and replace them with more eco-friendly solutions i.e. coasters, bin bags. This will reduce the non-green products from 18% to 5%.
• Continue to work on food waste reduction
• Continue to review our Food & Beverage suppliers and increase the local source from 23% to 30% in 2024
• We are continuosly working on removing single-use plastics from our guest suites and moving towards reusable plastics across the hotel
• We are continuing to eliminate all unnecessary plastic packaging in Food & Beverage outlets
• We will be installing new aerators into bedroom taps to reduce unneccessary water usage
• Review of the implementation of the Bike to Work Scheme to promote more sustainable transport options for staff

“We are at a unique stage in our history. Never before have we had such an awareness of what we are doing to the planet, and never before have we had the power to do something about that. Surely we all have a responsibility to care for our Blue Planet. The future of humanity and indeed, all life on earth, now depends on us.” – David Attenborough
