Toolkit Development

The expertise that we have gained from our research and consultancy has been vital to the development of the range of user-friendly interactive online toolkits that the team has produced to help hospitality businesses to make their operations more sustainable.


Examples of toolkits are here:


A Buyer’s Guide to Reducing Utility Costs in the Hospitality Sector

 

Catering for a Better Future – saving resources and money in hospitality businesses
 

The Green Source – a guide to sustainable purchasing for hotels


 
"The Green Source will be hugely beneficial to me as a reference document. This guidance will help me to work together with our suppliers to develop our responsible purchasing ethos." Clare Wright, Purchasing Manager, Lancaster London Hotel

"The Green Source will give us food for thought in redrafting our current environmental policy. The questions for suppliers are really helpful and above all, it's accessible and fun to read." Mark Jeanes, Executive Assistant Manager (Food & Beverge), Crowne Plaza London the City

"The Green Source will inspire us and we are honoured to have been part of the process of developing it." Hetty Bright, Marketing Services Manager, 51 Buckingham Gate, London

 

Developing your environmental and social responsibility action plan – a toolkit for public sector catering services


 
"I am using your environmental toolkit for catering services. I am most impressed with the toolkit. I will be developing my own action plan and want to work with pupils in doing this. May I pass on my thanks to everyone who worked on the toolkit." Gillian Banks, Business Manager, Catering & Cleaning Services, Leeds City Council

 

Better Tourism – incorporating Green Start – an online tool to help tourism businesses assess their baseline and develop an action plan


Green Edge – a one day training course for the Regional Tourism Board Partnership which complements Green Start and is aimed at those who will benefit from a learning environment and networking opportunities


 
"A quick word to say how much I enjoyed using the Green Edge materials yesterday. Also, the course organiser and delegates were all very impressed with the workbook and resources." Sue Daly, Resolutions for Change
