Exclusive Hotels presents exclusively green conferencing
Exclusive Hotels recently unveiled its latest innovation, Exclusively Green Conferencing. An extension to the Company’s existing green initiatives, Exclusively Green Conferencing is a collaboration between the conference team and clients.

Acting upon a survey conducted amongst regular clients and bookers, meeting rooms now offer pencils made from recycled CD cases, blotters from recycled car tyres, coasters created from recycled vending cups and an organiser’s tool box made from 100% recycled card. The tool box contains staple-less staplers, shake and power calculators and recycled paper sticky pads.

In addition, Exclusive Hotels’ Food Heroes initiative ensures local suppliers are supported, with only the best seasonal produce used to develop varied banquet menus with fresh ingredients and even the chosen water supplier, Hildon Water, is in close proximity to Lainston House, one of the four Exclusive Hotels. The Food Heroes programme ensures that Exclusive Hotels food miles are kept to a minimum.

Exclusive Hotels’ has arranged an association with The CarbonNeutral™ Company, a prestigious organisation which has been independently verified, to allow clients the option to offset carbon emissions generated throughout each conference. Additionally, should a client wish to pursue this course of action, Exclusive Hotels will pay half of the cost.

As a combined entity, Exclusive Hotels is truly able to offer clients and bookers a greener alternative to the traditional conferencing offer.

Green Conferencing is another feather in the Exclusive Hotels’ green programme cap which includes more efficient and environmentally friendly methods of energy supply – from the spa at Pennyhill Park to solar power panels on Lainston House Hotels’ administrative buildings – to major recycling initiatives. The hotels also have their own kitchen gardens which produce a variety of organic herbs and areas for composting to reduce the amount of waste leaving the hotels.
