We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded Silver by the Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS) for our environmental commitment and good practice.
Cotswold Conference Centre is currently the only conference venue in the West Midlands to have achieved Silver. The team here really are passionate about this environment and, as local people themselves, they care about the impact CCC has on the local economy and the people who live close by.
Nick Akerman, Head of Sales, said: "When I heard we had attained GTBS Silver level I was really very pleased. The team here has worked really hard to improve our green credentials and we are committed to keep improving. At CCC, we see our ongoing sustainable initiatives as a journey rather than an end and will keep on going – hopefully to get Gold one day!"
Over the last few years the centre has planted 19,000 trees to help support the local environment, and has taken steps to incorporate fresh local produce into the restaurant menu.
Eco-minded organisations with a strong interest in ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ can rely on the Cotswold Conference Centre as an ethical partner.
The GTBS is the UK’s leading green tourism certification scheme which recognises and rates businesses demonstrating high levels of commitment to protecting the environment and promoting sustainability with Bronze, Silver and Gold awards. The GTBS is now recognised by UK Government as a crucial part of its drive towards sustainability. Businesses are graded by a qualified assessor against over 150 separate measures of best practice, covering energy and water efficiency, waste management, bio diversity and more.
