Sustainability Initiatives at The Montague on the Gardens, Bloomsbury, London

At The Montague on the Gardens, our commitment to environmental and social responsibility has a multifaceted approach, find out more about our holistic dedication to creating a positive impact on both the environment and the community below. CLIMATE As part of our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint, all lightbulbs in our meeting rooms and multiple public areas are now LED bulbs, which have a much lower energy requirement than traditional bulbs and last much longer. Additionally, we have committed to attempt paperless check-ins, meaning our registration cards are now electronically provided to guests and stored on an internal server, this reduces paper usage and improves security. Eliminating single use plastic has been at the forefront of our efforts towards sustainability here at The Montague on the Gardens. Many of our deliveries had historically been delivered in disposable plastic containers, however having worked with our suppliers, we have now replaced these with re-useable trays. In the past we have also had laundry and dry cleaning delivered back to the hotel in protective plastic covers, this has now been swapped to re-usable suit carriers, which the laundry is now collected in. FOOD Kitchens can waste up to 20% of food purchased, often equivalent to their total net profits, as chefs too often lack the necessary tools to accurately measure and manage waste. Here at The Montague, what gets measured gets managed, and by using data intelligently kitchens can be made more efficient. Winnow develops technology to help chefs achieve greater visibility in their kitchens and make better decisions that lead to dramatically reduced food waste and costs. In 2020, Red Carnation Hotels partnered with Winnow Solutions to tackle the issue of food waste and set targets to halve this by 2025. Local & Organic Suppliers At The Montague on the Gardens, we place a great significance on using premium, locally sourced products throughout the hotel as this enables us to provide exceptional service, whilst being aligned with these values. There are multiple examples throughout the Food and Beverage department, two of which are Meantime Brewing Company and Beefeater Gin.
