Following a recent review, the organisation has demonstrated meaningful progress across a range of sustainability criteria, including energy efficiency, carbon reduction, waste management and guest engagement.
"We were thrilled to have demonstrated continued efforts to reduce our environmental impact" said Renata Homer, Head of Operations and Customer Experience at Ashorne Hill.
"Our journey continues with specific emphasis on reducing CO2 emissions, building sustainable infrastructure, and driving towards a circular economy."
Sustainability in Action
The latest review not only confirmed Platinum status but also provided valuable insights into areas for future improvement. Under the leadership of Mark Soule, Estates, Facilities and Sustainability Manager, Ashorne Hill's Environmental Action Group is already implementing the next phase of sustainability enhancements.
One such initiative involves upgrading thermal efficiency by replacing legacy windows in one of the site's original accommodation blocks, a practical change that supports long-term environmental goals.
Engaging the Community
Ashorne Hill recognises that meaningful sustainability goes beyond buildings and infrastructure. As a venue that hosts learners, leaders, and guests from across the UK, it is embracing its role as a catalyst for collective action.
In the coming months, Ashorne Hill will launch a series of on-site campaigns and guest engagement initiatives aimed at encouraging more conscious, environmentally aware choices amongst visitors.
"Sustainability isn't a box to tick, it's a share journey," Homer added. "We're proud to lead with purpose, and event prouder to invite our wider community to join us."
As the environmental landscape evolves, Ashorne Hill remains focused on creating a more sustainable, responsible and resilient, one decision at a time.
