Actions we are taking at The Brudenell

As well as playing our part to contribute to The Hotel Folk's environmental policy, there are actions at The Brudenell we have taken to be more environmentally aware.

To name a few of the actions we have taken recently:

• We have installed high efficiency condensing boilers at the hotel which has reduced our energy and emissions by up to 35%
• We request that longer stay guests consider how regularly they need their towels replaced. Only towels placed in the bath will be replenished
• We proactively look at ways that we can offset any printed promotional materials where possible
• We work with our suppliers to ensure that they share our sustainability ethos, this includes our linen provider that uses recycled rainwater to clean our linen and working with our food suppliers to share delivery slots with nearby sister hotels
• Menus within the restaurant are reusable and therefore not thrown away after one service
• We look to support local causes that help to preserve, improve and protect the natural environment. For example, we have been a long-standing sponsor of the Alde & Ore Estuary Trust's annual Flotilla event taking place between Aldeburgh and Orford. 

We are continually looking at ways that we can improve and become more environmentally friendly and will look to review this page regularly to keep guests informed of our progress.
