The Grass is Always Greener........

Greener Initiatives and Sustainability at Farncombe Conference Centre 

Sustainability is at the heart of our ethos. Farncombe is always looking for ways to reduce its impact on the environment. Examples of measurable green initiatives include:


Reduction of water toxicity across the estate. Among the international family businesses is Ecover, the world leader in environmentally-friendly cleaning product, a brand which takes 400 times less water to neutralise than its nearest competitor. To ensure a reduction in water toxicity, all our cleaning products and toiletries are sourced from Ecover. 

-Electric car charging point. More recently we have strengthened our green credentials by installing an electric car charging point, which is one of only a handful in the Cotswolds. This is available to the public - not just exclusive to our clients. Here at Farncombe we are actively supporting greener transport and encouraging as many people as we can to decrease their carbon footprint.


- Water filtration system: this inexpensive system enables us to bottle and carbonate our own tap water, while still meeting conference delegates’ expectations for bottled water.  By using and recycling our own Farncombe-branded bottles, we have saved the cost and delivery of nearly 12,000 bottles a year.
