Sustainability

• The Cottage operates an Environmental Code of Practice which sees sustainability directly related to water and energy efficiency and the use of clean energy.
• Responsible procurement of sustainable food products with an increased focus on local purchasing and food packaging.
• Material recycling and waste management.
• Food-waste – a strict code of practice is in place to manage or eliminate food waste.
• Short Supply Chains – Every effort is made to use local and fresh produce eliminating the need for long carbon-producing supply chains.
• This also has a beneficial impact on the local economy, especially in rural Ireland.
