Energy: Reduce our energy consumption by 25% between now and 2030.

Waste: Train our staff on correct separation of waste and achieve the targets set by the Scottish Government.
Green Purchasing: Engage with suppliers to ensure they align with our sustainability goals.

Our Initiatives
Green Tourism: We have started our journey with Green Tourism, committing to continuous improvement in our sustainability practices.
Food Waste: We turn appropriate food waste into compost, reducing landfill waste and creating a useful product for gardening.
Packaging: We have replaced single-use sachets, sauces, and jams with fully recyclable glass jars.
Lighting: LED lights are now in operation throughout the hotel, significantly reducing our energy consumption.
Stationery: We use pencils in our meeting rooms instead of plastic pens to reduce plastic waste.
Toiletries: We have removed single-use toiletries and replaced them with organic pump dispensers from Highland Soaps.
Tree Planting: When you buy an umbrella from us, we will plant a tree in the Mozambique Forest.
Our umbrella supplier aims to plant 1 million trees, and Fishers Hotel receives an annual certificate to document our contribution.
Local Sourcing: We source food locally whenever possible. A full list of our suppliers is available in the Castle Restaurant Menu.
Fairtrade Products: All coffee and tea served at Fishers Hotel are sourced from companies that only use fairtrade ingredients.
Paper Reduction: We use tablets in our restaurant and bar for ordering, significantly reducing our paper usage.
Window Upgrades: When replacing old windows, we install double glazing to enhance energy efficiency.
