# The Cavendish hotel: leading the way in sustainable tourism
|
|
|
|
## Environmental initiatives are helping to slow down the progression of
|
|
climate change and, for some time, The Cavendish has been a leader in this
|
|
field.

Premium hotels are not normally associated with pioneering environmental
|
|
initiatives and carbon-cutting schemes. However, in 2010, The Cavendish
|
|
celebrated winning a coveted gold award in Sustainable Tourism from Visit
|
|
London.
|
|
|
|
Now in their seventh year, the awards recognise those attractions, people and
|
|
businesses that help to make London a world-class city. Winners are selected
|
|
by an expert panel of 11 judges and the public.
|
|
|
|
The Cavendish was commended for its commitment to implementing savvy
|
|
ecological measures and the four-star deluxe hotel team impressed judges with
|
|
its consistent, unfaltering approach to improving sustainability throughout
|
|
the hotel.
|
|
|
|
Low-volume showers and taps, low-energy light bulbs, sensor-activated corridor
|
|
lighting and hydrocarbon-based refrigerators are only some of the
|
|
environmental practices put into place at The Cavendish. Eco-operations have
|
|
been integrated across most areas of the hotel, including front-of-house,
|
|
back-of-house, meeting rooms and the highly-acclaimed restaurant, Petrichor.
|
|
|
|
Petrichor was also awarded a gold accreditation from the Sustainable
|
|
Restaurant Association. With 100% of its waste recycled, a commitment to
|
|
sustainable sourcing of all ingredients and its support of local British farms
|
|
and producers, the hotel's ecological credentials are considerable. It's clear
|
|
to see why the hotel fared so well in the awards.
