Environmental Initiatives at Evergreen Bed and Breakfast,
Loch Ness

Environmental Commitment

We are conscious that the actions of each and every one of us have an impact on the environment. Here at Evergreen we are committed to providing an excellent quality of service for our guests whilst also minimising the environmental impact of our business activities. By doing so we hope (albeit in a small way) to help maintain the wild beauty of Loch Ness for the enjoyment of visitors and local people alike.
 

At Evergreen we aim to:-

Adhere to good environmental practise in all business activities
Ensure that the business meets the minimum requirements set by environmental law and fulfil its legal duty of care requirements for waste disposal
Aim to achieve sustainable environmental improvement

To achieve this, we have implemented a variety of general measures as follows:-

Reduced flush toilets to save water

Double glazed windows to improve thermal performance

Use the eco saving facility on the dishwasher to reduce water use
