The Ned London

The Ned prides itself on being a hotel that seeks to do the right thing in every aspect of our business. We have achieved silver level accreditation with the Green Tourism Board and are committed to achieving gold level accreditation through our Green Committee, who promote responsible and eco-efficient use of our resources. The Ned’s Green Committee meet each quarter to discuss and prioritise environmental issues. Its members have volunteered their time and between them they cover all aspects of the hotel including food and beverage, finance, communications, engineering, people and development and front office. REDUCING WASTE In the past year The Ned increased its total amount of recycling to 50%. We sent zero waste to landfill. With the exception of food, cardboard and glass which were recycled, all remaining waste was incinerated at a local plant which produced power for local homes. We also reduced the number of waste removal trucks on the road by aligning with the same service the local council uses. We have also removed paper towels from our public bathrooms and use solely hand dryers instead. REDUCING USE OF SINGLE PLASTIC Since 2019, The Ned has reduced the number of single use plastics included in our bedroom’s amenities from 37 items to five by exchanging plastics to rice paper packaging or compostable alternatives. We also added sustainable bamboo toothbrushes and cotton buds, ear plugs, and slippers, as well as switching to 60% recycled plastic key cards for all rooms. OFFERING GREENER COWSHED PRODUCTS We reformulated the product and packaging of Cowshed body products to remove parabens, mineral oils, petrolatum, sulphates, silicones and animal ingredients, and continued to ensure there was no animal testing. All of our plastic bottles are now made from renewable sugar cane and the boxes are made from recycled coffee cups, both of which are 100% recyclable. OFFERING SUSTAINABLE SOHO SKIN PRODUCTS Soho Skin are committed to working towards a circular economy and have applied these principles to the development of the range. Every ingredient Soho Skin use is non-eco toxic and our packaging and componentry is widely recyclable. This includes the use of FSC paper and glass bottles across the majority of the range. All formulas are vegan and the company is listed by Cruelty Free International as an approved Leaping Bunny brand, the internationally recognisable gold standard for cruelty free products.
