ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY

The following is an overview of our environmental policy at Lakewood

Lakewood Conference Centre operates a sustainable event policy wherever and whenever possible, reflecting the policy of its parent company “Holt Farms Ltd”.

We Recycle

  • Paper
  • Glass
  • Cardboard
  • Kitchen peelings go into our compost heaps
  • Drinks cans
  • Plastic milk and yogurt pots

We do

  • Use low energy light bulbs and have removed unnecessary strip lights.
  • We encourage delegates and trainers to turn off equipment and lights whenever possible
  • Use recycled pens, paper and local water
  • Use Fairtrade and organic products for our hot beverages – teas, coffees, sugar and hot chocolate
  • Use all organic dairy produce and eggs from our own organic farms
  • Use, where possible, our own lamb and beef from our own organic farms
  • Use, where possible, vegetables and salad grown on our own organic farms and in our bio-domes
  • Have an eco barn run entirely off grid from solar energy & is carbon neutral
  • Plan to heat the Centre from bio fuel grown on our own farms in the near future. Wills Eco Barn is already heated in this way.
  • Use environmentally friendly cleaning products which dilute to a neutral ph and do not use aerosols
  • Encourage shared transport for our conference guests. Take guests to Wills Eco Barn in one 9-seater vehicle
  • Use electronic documentation and files, emailing all contracts to reduce paper consumption
  • Buy pot grown Christmas trees which are put back to grow on after the holiday and discourage the use of plastic non recyclable decorations
  • We use electric powered cars to transport staff between sites and around the surrounding area (Smart Cars)

We don’t:

  • Have glossy brochures which use paper and energy to create and send
  • Believe that the events industry needs to be a wasteful one
  • Use air transported produce thereby reducing “food miles”
