How can we be greener?
Good together
We're working to be a more responsible business that cares for the planet and people. Find out more about our Good Together initiative and our priorities which include:
The Environment- see how we're using less water and energy, and cutting down on waste.

People- we're providing team members with skills and training at all levels to help further develop the Good Together Programme.
Sourcing- our Responsible Sourcing policy means our suppliers must meet internationally recognised standards of labour rights including fair pay.
Health- we want to help our customers make healthier food choices and are aiming to meet the government's 2012 health targets during 2011.
Community- we're actively involved in the community and work to give something back to people in society that need it most.
Customers- we want customers to feel confident that they are doing the right thing for the planet by choosing to eat, drink or stay with us.
Our green hotel in Burgess Hill
We’re also building pioneering eco-friendly hotels. Our first opened in Tamworth, Staffs in 2008 and we’ve recently unveiled the UK's greenest hotel and low-carbon restaurant in Burgess Hill, Sussex.
Both use cutting edge technology such as efficient insulation, automated light controls plus recycled grey water and rainwater harvesting. The results are savings of 70% carbon and 60% water compared to our other hotels.
Our 60-bed Burgess Hill site has adopted the best-performing technologies from Tamworth and includes our first ever green restaurant. We've used groundbreaking technologies to build a Premier Inn which has far less impact on the environment. These include greywater recycling, powerful low-flow showerheads and ground-source heat pumps which use natural energy to provide heating, cooling and hot water.
