Caring for our planet
Our environmental responsibility to protecting our planet
Caring for our planet
We're privileged to count some of our country's most outstandingly beautiful areas as part of our unrivalled 3,500 acre footprint. With that privilege comes a responsibility which we take very seriously. From the dramatic Norfolk coast to the enchanting forests of the Scottish Highlands and the Lake District mountains, we want our varied landscapes to be enjoyed by future generations. The positive environmental actions we're taking help us look after our natural surroundings and protect our planet for generations to come.
Climate change and carbon emissions
We’re committed to reducing our carbon emissions and since 2019, we have reduced our emissions by 20%.
In 2023, we launched a variety of energy-saving programmes and trials across multiple parks. We’re proud of the progress we’re making and will continue to identify, trial and roll out the projects that are successful.
Equipping our business to manage future severe weather events is integral to our climate change resilience strategy. We have robust plans and processes in place to allow us to keep our parks safe, maintain our operations, and minimise any disruption which may be caused by bad weather.
Sustainable resources
We’re dedicated to reducing our waste and since 2021, we have reduced our waste by 21%. We’ve also significantly increased the amount of waste we divert away from landfill to 80%.
We’re also making positive progress in reducing water usage and improving water efficiency through a number of trials on our parks.
We’re proud to embed sustainable sourcing into our procurement decisions and include environmental and social impact criteria into tenders and supplier management.
Space for nature
Our parks are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna and we’re proud to take great care of the biodiversity that inhabits our parks. All 66 of our parks are signed up to the David Bellamy Blooming Marvellous Pledge for Nature, demonstrating their commitment to helping nature by participating in wildlife challenges.
