I am trying to be more ecologically aware as a traveller. What is your policy at Mr & Mrs Smith?
As well as using sustainable paper sources for all our publications, we are currently in the process of developing our own in-depth eco policy, as we hope to minimise the environmental impact of everything we do. At the moment, we are compiling detailed information on each individual hotel’s eco-friendliness (whether they use locally sourced and organic ingredients, ecological detergents and toiletries; were built with natural or locally sourced materials; participate in recycling schemes; are energy efficient; are involved in any land- or wildlife-preservation schemes; invest in the local community or employ local staff at every level, etc), which will be featured on the overview pages soon. We hope to be able to offer readers all the information they need in order to reduce their environmental impact whenever they travel. We are currently looking into calculating the cost of offsetting carbon emissions in all our own travel, and ways in which our customers can choose to offset theirs
