GREEN POLICY

At River Park Place we are committed to a green approach throughout our company where we strive to minimise our impact on the environment via reduced consumption and waste, recycling and the selection of environmentally friendly options wherever feasible.

We have implemented initiatives and procedures that will achieve improvements which have a positive impact on the environment at a local and global level.

Waste
We strive to minimise the waste we produce by recycling and reusing. River Park Place has reduced its printing by better use of electronic communication, marketing and record keeping systems.

We have implemented a policy of double sided printing of documents and we currently recycle on a daily basis all office paper, printer cartridges cardboard, glass and plastic and kitchen oil is collected and recycled by a local organisation.

Water
Using water in an efficient manner is another key part of our environmental program.

We have installed water flow restrictors in all washroom, bar and
kitchen areas.
All toilets are dual flush
Staff are encouraged to reduce their water consumption
We use Mt Warning water bottled for all corporate functions. This
company is certified 100% carbon neutral. We carry out
regular maintenance checks to minimise any water wastage
through faulty appliances

Energy Consumption
Energy consumption and CO2 emissions, is a large environmental issue and listed below are some energy efficiency programmes we have in place to reduce our global impact.

Air-conditioners are only in use when the rooms are occupied by clients
or staff
Electrical fittings and consumables are purchased with regard to
efficiency e.g. light globes
Lights and other electrical equipment are switched off when not required.
Refrigeration and freezers are one of our biggest energy users. We
keep our equipment in good working order by ensuring seals are clean
and in good condition to increase efficiency.
Additional refrigeration required for functions are switched off when
not required.

Our electricity company (Energy Action) sources energy
from green energy suppliers
