Our Sustainable
Practices
At Fitz of Inch, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that taking care of our planet is vital for our community and future generations. Here’s how we’re making a positive impact!
We’re proud to operate on solar power, significantly reducing our carbon footprint. In our ongoing effort to embrace cleaner energy, we're transitioning from oil heating to electric systems, boosting our energy efficiency and aligning with our vision of a greener world.
To support eco-friendly practices, we rent our laundry services from a local laundromat that uses sustainable packaging, eco-friendly cleaning products, and environmentally conscious delivery methods. Our windows are cleaned using only filtered water—no chemicals involved—ensuring a safe and healthy environment.
We also take pride in our digital initiatives. All of our guidebooks and leaflets are available in digital form, and we always send e-invoices when possible to reduce paper usage. In our office, we make a conscious effort to reuse paper, further minimizing waste.
Supporting environmentally sustainable tourism is important to us. We encourage our guests to walk and engage in nature-based activities in the beautiful surroundings. Our library offers maps, local guidebooks, and nature books to help guests explore the area. We have established relationships with local eco-tourism providers, allowing our guests to enjoy the wonderful nature around us.
Our marketing efforts reflect our sustainability goals; we utilize web-based activities as much as possible and maintain a strict policy against mailshots. We keep in touch with our regular customers through e-zines and print our brochures, leaflets, and maps using recycled paper and card.
We’ve adopted a “reduce, reuse, repair” mantra while maintaining a luxury, cozy home-away-from-home atmosphere. Our Environmental Action Plan includes actions and targets for improvement that we review annually, ensuring we stay on track.
Over the years, our holistic approach to gardening has created a new habitat for birds and other wildlife. We even use timber trimmed from our own trees for firewood. In addition, we bottle our own water from our well for use throughout the estate, and all glass bottles are reused. This same well supplies all water systems on the property.
We are committed to reducing waste to landfill. Cardboard packaging, newspapers, magazines, glass, cans, plastic bottles, and used light bulbs and batteries are all returned to our suppliers or collected for recycling.
As we look to the future, our commitment to sustainability will only grow stronger. We’re excited to explore new initiatives and foster a culture of sustainability within our team and community. Together, we can create a brighter, greener future!
