Castlebridge Hospitality Management has continued to develop its Environmental, Social and Governance strategy across its hotel portfolio, with every hotel now holding current third-party environmental certification.
The milestone provides external assessment alongside sustainability initiatives taking place within individual properties.
Hotel Indigo Bath has now held Green Key certification for three consecutive years.
The certification forms part of a wider ESG programme supported by Mission Net Zero.
Castlebridge has established a formal ESG Policy, Strategy and Roadmap covering four areas: responsible and efficient operations; people and culture; community and guest impact; and governance, asset value and owner alignment.
The hotel management company is also working with True Group on an asset-review programme designed to assess the performance of its buildings and operating systems and identify opportunities for improvement.
The work will support Castlebridge’s plans to improve the consistency of energy and resource-use measurement and develop property-level asset improvement plans.
Its ESG Roadmap also includes improving the collection of energy, water, waste and emissions data, reviewing renewable energy opportunities, strengthening supplier engagement and developing measurable carbon-reduction targets.
Castlebridge is also investing in roles intended to support delivery of the strategy.
Martin Mansbridge has been promoted to Group Maintenance Manager, with responsibility for maintenance and engineering strategy across the portfolio.
His remit includes identifying and implementing energy-efficiency opportunities alongside property maintenance, facilities management and capital projects.
Janet Roberts has also joined the company as Director of People & Culture.
Her responsibilities include people development, wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, employee engagement and career progression.
The company’s ESG Strategy identifies team wellbeing, training and development, diversity, equity and inclusion, talent attraction and retention, leadership development and employee engagement as areas of focus.
Community partnerships also form part of the strategy, alongside charitable initiatives, support for local suppliers and businesses, local employment and responsible tourism.
Craig Patterson, Managing Director of Castlebridge Hospitality Management, said: “For Castlebridge, ESG has to be about what we actually do, not simply what we say. Achieving independent environmental certification across our portfolio is an important milestone, but our focus is on continuing to understand where measurable improvements can be made and tracking our progress. We are investing in the expertise, partnerships and data that will help us make informed decisions about our hotels, our assets and the resources we use, while continuing to support our people and the communities in which we operate.”
Castlebridge said its ESG framework is intended to support continued measurement and action across environmental performance, its workforce, communities and the hotel assets it manages.
