Social Responsibility

Craydawn Pendley Manor Ltd operates the Pendley Manor Hotel in Tring Hertfordshire.  We are committed to ensuring that we are a “socially responsible” company and take our commitment to the environment and the communities in which we operate seriously.

We define our social responsibility into four key areas:

Marketplace – Responsibility to our guests, suppliers and partners as responsible hoteliers.
Workplace – Commitment to what we regard as our most valuable resource: our colleagues.
Environment – Doing all we can reasonably do to reduce our impact on the environment.
Community – Ensuring that our hotel is an active partner in the community in which we operate.

We are committed to building a culture where our employees, guests, suppliers and contractors recognise our commitment to ensuring that our hotel operates successfully in the community and that we achieve our goal as a company of long-term sustainable success.

We continue to work with suppliers to reduce the excess packaging and increase the use of recycled cardboard and reusable delivery trays wherever possible.
  • Responsible Purchasing – We ask that our suppliers have environmentally aware goals and have their own environmental policies in place. Wherever practical, we purchase products made from renewable and ethically sound sources.

We aim to exceed the minimum standards our business is required to achieve by environmental legislation.  We recognise that people are key to our environmental success and all employees are
encouraged to be environmentally responsible.

We recognise and value the community that we operate within. As a successful and progressive hotel business we wish to interact with and support these diverse communities wherever possible. Our commitment to the community includes supporting local charities, forming and maintaining links with local sports clubs, schools and colleges for work experience placements and assisting employees that wish to volunteer to assist local community projects where
