Sustainability at
One Great George Street
We have recently been awarded Gold ECOsmart status which reflects the extensive measures we take to fully embrace environmental sustainability. ECOsmart is the accreditation programme of Greengage Solutions - recognising and supporting eco-friendly hotels and conferences venues that meet certified standards of sustainability.
We understand the importance of protecting the environment and take our Corporate and Social Responsibility and Environment policy very seriously. We act when necessary to take environmental action by managing our resources efficiently. We also encourage and influence our clients and suppliers to adopt similar procedures.
