Fostering a Greener Future in London
Environmental responsibility is at the core of The Westminster London’s operations. We incorporate Hilton’s environmental goals and Green Key’s rigorous standards, focusing on reducing waste, conserving resources, and minimizing our carbon footprint.
Key initiatives include:
- Energy and Resource Efficiency
-
- Solar Power: Our solar panels, installed on the hotel roof, adds clean energy to our operations, reducing overall reliance on non-renewable sources.
- LED and Sensor Lighting: 99% of our lighting is energy-efficient, minimizing electricity use across guest and staff areas.
- Water Conservation: Sensor-controlled taps, dual-flush toilets, and water stations on each floor eliminate single-use plastic bottles, saving over 250,000 bottles yearly.
- Green Key Certification
-
- This certification ensures we meet international environmental standards, benefiting both guests and the community. We adhere to strict criteria, including waste separation, water conservation, and responsible energy use.
- Sustainable Practices
-
- Waste Reduction: Through refillable amenities, biodegradable disposables, and digital room directories, we cut down on waste. Hilton’s LightStay, helps us monitor our progress in waste reduction.
- Food Waste Initiatives: We minimize food waste by donating edible leftovers to local food banks, supporting Hilton’s goal to reduce food waste by 50% by 2030.
- Local and Sustainable Sourcing: Eggs, milk, and other products come from local, sustainable suppliers, reducing transportation emissions, and supporting the local economy.
