Villa Ariola Climate Change Action Plan

01/11/2021

Bill and Lynn acknowledge that Villa Ariola causes emissions and are introducing a responsible and sustainable environmental management plan.

Measure. In November 2021 we measured our annual energy usage and emission providing a baseline from which to reduce year on year.

Reduce. Each business needs to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 to keep the hope of 1.5 degrees C limit alive. Our commitment is 100% emissions reduction by 2027, with the ambition to be Carbon Positive by 2030

Communicate this environmental policy and encourage environmental best practise with all employees.

Publish this policy statement for all interested parties on the Villa Ariola website. Publish our 2021 baseline and subsequent annual figures and additional initiatives.

Comply with all applicable environmental legislation.

Kilometre Zero. Expand our organic garden. Continue to promote local businesses, source product and take environmental factors into account in all purchasing and supplier contracts.

Waste management. Take all practical measures to reduce waste to landfill by adopting an ‘eliminate, reduce, re-use, recycle’ approach to waste management.

Water management. We have our own 56m deep well, clean water treatment and sewage treatment plants. Reducing water consumption will reduce energy consumed to pump and treat.

Adopt the practice of responsible energy management through reduced consumption and the encouragement of energy efficiency throughout the business.
