Sustainability
Reduce, reuse and recycle
St Michael's Hotel and Spa are committed to a more sustainable future and we try to do everything we can to reduce our negative
impact on the environment, without compromising our visitors' experience. Wherever possible we reduce, recycle and re-use.
To reduce our food miles, our Chef utilises fresh, local, seasonal produce as much as possible. We buy everything from cheese
to free range pork from local producers and support the sustainable fishing initiative.
Reduce your Carbon Footprint
We are trying to reduce the impact that our business has on the local environment. One way we can do this is by encouraging people
to neutralise their carbon dioxide emissions.
We are working with a company that specialises in this by planting trees which will counteract carbon dioxide emissions from our
cars.
As part of our continuing commitment to the environment we have
partnered with Co2balance to allow our guests to offset the carbon
emissions to and from The St Michaels hotel and Spa. The average return
journey to Cornwall creates 0.5 tonnes CO2 (carbon dioxide). You can add to your booking a £5 charge (per stay) which will be used to create St Michael's wood near
Roche in Cornwall. This project sequestrates co_2 and you will be
playing your part in reducing your impact on the environment and helping
to combat climate change.
For every £10 we raise in this way, Co2balance will plant a tree which will be allowed to grow for 100 years, feeding oxygen back into the atmosphere and
supporting innumerable insects and other creatures. You will also receive a certificate printed on 100% recycled paper using
renewable electricity. To make your donation please look out for the tick box on your online booking form, so you too can
neutralize your carbon footprint to St Michaels Hotel and Spa.
