Sustainability policy at 4* Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa

Sustainability


Green Hotel

Introduction

We are Ireland’s most northerly 4* Hotel. We are situated in one of the most scenic locations in all of Ireland. We are so proud and love our area so much that we wish for you to know that we take great care in our approach to sustainability for the Business and making our Hotel as green as possible. It all started many years ago when we achieved gold standard from the Green HospitalityAwards.

We are one of the largest employers in the area we feel it’s our duty to lead by example. We have highlighted just some of the great work we have done below. We are also working hard on doing even more so please check back for future introductions. Nice for you to know that during your stay at the 4* Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa whether you’re watching TV, Charging your phone, flushing the Toilet etc. that we are doing our utmost to protect the environment. 


Solar Array

Solar

We have a large 288kW Solar array to the rear of the Hotel.  This was a mammoth investment for the Hotel but already is proving a great introduction and especially during months of great light. On most days during these months the whole Hotel is being supplied by solar.

Woodchip renewable heating system
Biomass wood chip

Another large investment saw us introduce a woodchip Biomass heating system. This renewable energy project provides hot water and heat to the whole Hotel. We are not relying on the burning of fossil fuels to heat the Hotel.


Well Water & Conservation

Water

We have commissioned a natural spring well in the mountain to the rear of the Hotel. A truly inspiring project that allows us to reduce our water usage and consumption from the mains. We've also introduced aerated shower heads and better faucet control. 


Automated LED lighting

LED

Where possible, we have installed automated LED lighting in the relevant areas of the Hotel. This reduces our energy consumption drastically further aiding the environment.


Smart Heating Controls

Heat boss

We have brought in the fantastic HeatBoss Solution whereby it allows us to zone our all our heat to each and every area of the Hotel as and when needed. No longer just wasting energy by heating unnecessary areas of the Hotel. 


IT/Infrastructure Upgrades

IT info

We are always upgrading and improving our equipment. Where possible we upgrade to the latest models which in turn prove to be even more economical than the last. All such efforts combined puts the 4* Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa in a great position for future sustainability.


In House Laundry

Laundry

We boast our very own in-house laundry services for the Hotel.  This has been such a welcome addition. Allows for better quality control and efficiency but not to mention helps us reduce our carbon footprint massively. No longer large lorries with deliveries a few times a week. Everything runs seamless and all the while using hot water from our Biomass system and Well not to mention Solar to power the machines.


Waste

Food Waste

We try to be as pro-active as possible and thankfully food waste is kept to a minimum here at the 4* Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa. This is an area that is always changing and upgrading and we like to remain in touch with that where possible.


Recycling/Paper/Plastic Waste

Recycling

We are always seeking to improve in our recycling efforts where possible. We have eradicated plastic straws and cut down on internal paper and plastic use. We also push our Suppliers to cut down on their waste also which is very important.


Eco Products

Green Eco

Where possible we endeavour to use non-harmful products to the environment. As more and more technologies are being released this is an area we are keen to keep up to date with.


Purchasing/sourcing

Shop Local

Our aim is to purchase locally sourced products to the best of our ability. In terms of food, we seek to get our; meat, fish, veg fruit etc.with the shortest transport and logistics available. Our goal is to support local employment also which is a key ingredient to a successful community. 



Summary

We have invested very heavily in the above Systems, Policies and Projects in a bid to reduce our carbon footprint, protect the environment and push sustainability. But, we can always do more. We are leading by example with our efforts in our Industry and hopefully other Businesses will seek to adopt such practices also.

We thank for your choosing the 4* Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa and hope you find this pleasing to know.
