Sustainability

Here at The Metropole Hotel, we are passionate about our commitment to ensuring our operations become more sustainable. As we strive to become an environmentally conscious hotel, we have worked on several initiatives and policies to meet our responsibilities that will reduce our footprint on the planet.

As we explore and improve our operational systems, we want to ensure that the right internal culture structure is in place as well as investing in new initiatives. Our goal is to balance our environmental impact while also enhancing our guest experience and overall improve our business performance. Our internal Green Team are researching sustainable products & services to be used wherever possible. We also want to encourage our team members to communicate our commitment to the environment and corporate social responsibility to all stakeholders of the hotel including guests, suppliers and wholesalers.

Our key focus areas are the environment, our team members, and the community.

We have begun to make a number of changes and introduced a number of ways that we are reducing our footstep on the planet. Here are a few of the initiatives we have been working on;

• Changed straws from plastic to paper in our bar & restaurant
• Installed bin dividers in each guest bedroom allowing them to segregate waste
• Abolished all mini toiletries in bedrooms and introduced Irish Brand, Paul Costello, refillable bottles
• 98% of our hotel lights are now energy-saving LED bulbs
• New boilers and water tanks have been bought which meet sustainability requirements and allow us to reduce energy costs and C02 emissions.
• Compostable takeaway cups have been introduced
• Water is bottled in glass not plastic, with the hope of introducing Tetra Pak bottles
• Cleaning products are sourced locally and are ecolabel products
• Now part of Repak
• The culinary team have partnered with a number of local suppliers to reduce our carbon footprint
• Pens have now been replaced with recycled pencils

As part of our commitment to becoming a more sustainable business, The Metropole Hotel, in partnership with our group, Trigon Hotels, have established relationships with a number of causes and charities to help give back to our community.
