Responsible Tourism Policy UK Office

The following is the policy we circulate to all our staff.

Being responsible in the office is equally as important as in our destinations to ensure we minimise our impact on the environment.

The most effective way of implementing Responsible Tourism is by committing to follow all the main points of our policy to make a lasting and positive effect on the environment. Please read this policy carefully. If anyone has any other suggestions or observations please email gill.sealey@serenityholidays.co.uk.

 

Reducing Waste

  • Try and avoid printing every document - try electronically filing
  • Print double sided
  • Email rather then sending letters where possible. This is not always appropriate but it is quicker and saves paper
  • Use the larger printers - they are more cost efficient

As a department, look at how much waste you generate and how you can cut down on this. E.g. Re-use scrap paper in one of your printer trays for internal use only.

 

Recycle

We already recycle a fair amount of paper in the office but we need to do more. Think of all the ugly land filled sites we're filling!

Here is a list of what we recycle

  • Toner cartridges
  • Paper, newspapers, magazines, envelopes
  • Stamps - Collect in departments and give to admin
  • Milk bottles, plastic bottles and other plastic packaging
  • Cardboard
  • Food & drinks cans
 

Opt in & Offset

To reduce our carbon footprint we will offset all the carbon emissions from any staff air travel to The Gambia and Cape Verde.

 

Saving Energy

  • Lights - Turn all lights off at night. Consider whether you need the light on or not?
  • Hot Water - Our hot water dispensers are a lot more efficient than kettles
  • Air conditioning - This is often necessary but uses a vast amount of energy. So in order for it to work as efficiently as possibly, please keep all windows and doors closed otherwise you are wasting energy. Temperature must be set at 23 degrees
  • Turn AC system off at the end of the day
  • PC'S & Mac's - Switch off at the end of the day. This saves electricity and reduces the risk of fire
 

Car Sharing

Sharing a lift to work not only saves you money but more importantly protects the environment from further pollution.

  • Where possible, why not share a lift to Whitely at lunchtime with people in your department?
 

Charity

We sometimes have charity fundraising events / sales etc. which is a great way to support colleagues. Let us know if there is anything you'd like us to support.

Responsible Tourism is evolving all the time so this policy will be regularly updated as we move forward with new ideas and improvements. If anyone has any suggestions to improve our Responsible Tourism Policy please email gill.sealey@serenityholidays.co.uk.
