Employee Handbook
5. The Green Agenda
We all have a responsibility to make reasonable efforts to conserve energy
and to recycle where possible. Jurys Inn have achieved the Green Tourism
Business Scheme - Gold Award for our efforts in this area which is a great
achievement. There is a “Green” specialist in every property whose role is
to identify areas of improvement and to communicate and work with the team to
implement the changes needed to minimise our impact on the environment.
We also encourage our employees to get involved with the Local Community,
supporting “clean up” and “recycle campaigns” as well as local charities.
Our Corporate Responsibility Policy – “Positive Impact” – shows that there
are simple things that everyone can do to help, for example, switching off
things when not in use, turning lights off when not needed, recycling waste
and making sure it is broken down correctly. Did you know that bottles can
be used to resurface roads as well as make new bottles? And, plastic can be
used to provide bedding to cattle and horses as well as new plastic? We all
need to do our bit to help to sustain our future.
Please always consider whether or not something really needs to be printed
(like this Guide) or can it be viewed online? If you do have to print, look
to minimise the number of pages or print double sided. And always re-use
paper – the backs of documents are great for making notes on! There are
plenty of things you can get involved in through the community and we
encourage you to do so.
We want to raise awareness about what it is to be Green and how we can
protect our environment. Your ideas are always welcome through the Be
Involved scheme – just email your idea to be_involved@jurysinns.com, all
ideas will be considered, and you will receive feedback. And who knows, maybe
your idea will be implemented across the whole Company!
