Working towards a better future for people and planet

It's in our nature to be looking after people. And for guests in our hotels, we've been doing it for nearly 200 years! Beyond this, we want to show our care for people in our communities and of course for our planet. We all deserve to live in a better world, and we have a shared responsibility to make a difference.

These are some of the things we are doing and projects we support:

We have further introduced:

  • Plant-based cleaning products across the Imperial London family. Our main supplier SURE, Diversey provides a product range which is 100% plant-based and biodegradable.
  • Outstanding water filtration systems by BRITA to reduce carbon emissions. Reusable and refillable glass water bottles are also provided in our event spaces, which cuts down on plastic waste.
  • Rainforest-friendly coffee served across our restaurants and bars. Every 7 cups of Puro coffee served at Imperial London Hotels helps save 1 metre squared of rainforest. 
  • Shower and tap optimisation systems which reduce our water usage by 60%.
  • Segregated bins across all sites help aid our recycling mission with Bywaters. 
  • Renewable energy sources from food waste. The biogas and composting process from our food waste helps to create energy for the national grid. This process further cuts down fossil fuel use and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. 
  • Linen re-use. We encourage guests to re-use linen and towels during their stay to save water and energy. This also helps us preserve the quality and lifespan of our linen. 
  • Bike-friendly hotel stays. We encourage guests to cycle during their stay, an eco-friendlier mode of transport. Santander bike rental stations are accessible on Bedford Way and Coram Street.
