Exclusive Collection means business when it comes to using its business as a force for good:

We’ve just published our latest B Corp Impact Report detailing our 2022/23 ESG initiatives and outcomes. A few of our headlines: - 2% reduction in carbon emissions, water usage and waste generation. - Annual energy reduction of 4%.  - £105,000 donated to our preferred charities Hospitality Action, Bug Life and Protect Earth. - 70% of Royal Berkshire’s annual supplier spend sits with organisations who are within a 50-mile radius. At Pennyhill Park more than 80% of Hillfield’s suppliers are less than 25-miles away.   - We’ve partnered with Klimato to calculate, report and carbon label our event menus and we can see it’s helping educate #eventprofs choose more plant-friendly dishes. - We’ve rolled out Olio • Share More, Waste Less at all of our hotels. - Through LandApp, we have data led maps of each hotel and estate which helps improve carbon capture and support local habitats and increase biodiversity. For example: at South Lodge, 19,500 vines were planted to form a vineyard in collaboration with Ridgeview Wine Estate, as well as 1,267 trees and 317 shrubs being added. And boutique skincare brand Pelegrims is developing the full-circle use of the vines leaf extracts as in-house skincare products. - A net promoter score of 91% of our team say: ‘I would recommend Exclusive to friends and family as a great place to work’.   Thank you to every team member, supplier partner, guest and member who continually supports and helps us use Exclusive Collection as a force for good.    

Sustainability in event marketing is no longer optional. Consumers are becoming environmentally conscious, and events are catching up. Did you know that 67% of attendees prefer events that prioritize sustainability? This includes everything from eco-friendly materials to digital alternatives to printed materials. Example: By going paperless and reducing waste, a recent conference cut its carbon footprint by 50%.

Did you know: 🗑 the UK is the fourth largest textile waste producer in Europe? 👚on average, each person throws away around 8 items of clothing a year rather than donating or recycling them. That equates to approximately £12.5 billion, according to The Times. As part of our Haven & Earth Day we’ll be focusing on our impact on the Earth’s resources with our Yoga Clothes Swap. Our pre-loved clothes swap will also help increase our community’s access to wellbeing by helping to remove financial barriers. *References Circular: https://lnkd.in/eBX8tg8W.
