^{Environmental Procedures}

FLOCKHILL has established a series of guidelines to protect our environment, cutting across all aspects of our property, our policies and our day-to-day operations. 

Supporting sustainable and ethical businesses 

• We only use environmentally sound guest supplies. 
  
• We purchase from like-minded companies wherever possible. 
  
• We purchase organic, local, artisan products for the lodge kitchen as much as possible. 
  

Doing our part with energy, water and waste

• We separate all waste, with all recyclable and reusable waste taken to the Castle Hill recycling centre.

• We use energy-efficient innovations in building design including stratified concrete walls and double glazing. 

• We use energy-saving lightbulbs, heating thermostats and regulators and an induction plate.  

• We use energy and water-efficient dishwashers. 

• We have fitted all water closets, taps and showers with flow regulators and low consumption features. 

• We regularly maintain all electrical equipment. 

• We keep FLOCKHILL’s footprint to a minimum by taking laundry off site. 

Fostering a team of environment champions 

• We engage and motivate FLOCKHILL employees by ensuring a part of their week includes work on our pest control program and wetlands preservation. 
  
• We encourage our employees to adopt an environmentally friendly approach within their own households. 
  
• We encourage our employees to advocate an environmentally sound approach in our community. 
  

Undertaking safe and sustainable housekeeping 

• We supply eco-friendly cleaning materials. 
  
• We train our staff to optimise our usage of materials and chemicals (using as much as necessary, as little as possible). 
  
• We ensure all product descriptions and specifications are available for the cleaning materials used. 
  
• We ensure all cleaning chemicals hold an environmental certificate. 
  
• We keep all chemicals in a locked room. 

Engaging with our local community 

• We support local community environment programs. 
  
• We spread information in the community about the necessity of separating waste 
  
• We support our community in efforts to restore and preserve historical sites. 
  

Sharing our conservation story 

• We proudly promote our sustainability and pest control programs through public relations initiatives. 
  
• We keep our measures and achievements both transparent and documented. 
  
• We actively inform FLOCKHILL guests about our sustainability and pest control programs through our in-house compendiums and website. 
  

Inviting guests on our journey 

We encourage environmental awareness and invite our guests to join in our efforts and those of our local community.
