Our Sustainability Promise
At Royal Station Newcastle, we recognise the influence and impact that our business has on the environment and the communities in which we operate. We are committed to sustainability and to minimising our environmental footprint, while enhancing the wellbeing of our guests, employees and local communities. We are supported in this journey by our sustainability accreditation partner, Green Tourism.
Supporting Our Community
At Royal Station Hotel Newcastle, we are committed to supporting our local community and charities. Through the sales of our ‘AfterToon Tea’, we proudly contribute to the Newcastle United Foundation, while also celebrating local products and produce. We have also named the Great North Air Ambulance as our annual sponsor, reinforcing our dedication to vital regional services.
Additionally, we support local charities by providing raffle prizes, contribute to the Royal British Legion for Poppy Day, and champion sustainable dining by incorporating Tiba Tempeh, a local plant-based protein start-up, into our offerings.
Environmental Initiatives
We take a proactive approach to sustainability, with the Cairn Maintenance Management Team overseeing our environmental initiatives. Our systems are designed to turn off all lighting and machinery when not in use, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. We also offer a cycle-to-work scheme to promote sustainable commuting.
Additionally, as part of Cairn Hotels Group, we ensure that our energy supplier uses at least 50% renewable energy, reinforcing our commitment to reducing our environmental impact.
Our Team
We are committed to creating a safe, healthy, and sustainable workplace for all team members. Our staff play an active role in minimising our environmental impact, with regular sustainability training and the support of an on-site Sustainability Champion. We closely monitor business and staff travel, encouraging public transport and car-sharing wherever possible to reduce emissions.
To further our commitment to sustainability, we have incorporated EV vehicles into our operations. Additionally, we track energy and activity targets, reporting progress monthly to our head office, ensuring continuous improvement in our environmental initiatives.
Guest Support
We believe that guests play a critical role in promoting sustainability. Our Sustainability Policy is displayed at reception and on our website, ensuring that guests are informed of our eco-friendly practices. We encourage guests to make conscious choices during their stay, such as reducing energy and water usage, properly disposing of waste, and using eco-friendly products to help minimise environmental impact.
To support this, we actively promote and implement the Stay Your Way Programme, which is designed to provide guests with a sustainable stay tailored to their preferences, helping them make greener choices throughout their visit.
Your Feedback
We value guest feedback and input in driving innovative ideas to reduce the environmental impact of our hotel. We encourage our guests to send feedback to each venue, sharing their ideas and suggestions for reducing waste, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable practices. By working together with our guests, we can continue to build a sustainability program that provides guests with the flexibility and freedom to stay in a way that aligns with their values and preferences, while also contributing to a more sustainable future.
