Environmental Policy
Here at The K Club we recognise the importance of the environment and the impact we have on it as an organisation. As a business, we have a key responsibility to conserve the environment around us and ensure we are operating with sustainability in mind.
Our Green Policy is becoming a part of the businesses ethos, by encouraging and supporting each department to make changes that put the environment at the forefront of all our decisions.
We are working with green hospitality programmes and organisations who support us in our efforts to become more environmentally sustainable.
An important part of The K Club Strategy is the community and the role we play in it, we want to ensure that tourism makes a positive social contribution so that it benefits our community as well as our guests.
