At Four Seasons Marquees, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to minimizing our environmental impact and are constantly seeking innovative ways to improve our sustainability practices. From our day-to-day operations to our long-term goals, we work tirelessly to reduce, reuse, and recycle wherever possible.
Fleet and Transportation
We recognise the environmental impact of transportation and take proactive measures to minimize emissions:
- Well-Maintained Fleet: Our vehicles are regularly serviced and maintained to operate at peak efficiency, including keeping tyre pressures optimized to reduce fuel consumption and toxic emissions.
- Eco-Friendly Investments: Our recent acquisition of the Iveco Euro Cargo 6, the most economical and environmentally friendly HGV in the UK, reflects our commitment to adopting greener transport solutions.
- Water Conservation
- Water is a precious resource, and we take steps to use it responsibly:
- Rainwater Harvesting: We collect rainwater in water butts, which is then repurposed for filling our water ballast and cleaning our reusable matting. This significantly reduces our reliance on mains water.
- Sustainable Materials and Local Sourcing
- We take pride in using durable, reusable materials and supporting local businesses:
- Reusable Marquees: Many of our marquees are manufactured in the UK, reducing transportation emissions, and are designed for repeated use, ensuring their longevity.
- Local Procurement: Wherever possible, we source materials locally, supporting local businesses and further reducing our carbon footprint.
- Office Practices
Our office operations are guided by a strong focus on minimising waste and energy use:
- Recycling: We recycle paper, printer cartridges, and other office supplies to reduce waste.
- Energy Efficiency: We minimise printing, use energy-efficient lighting, reduce heating, and ensure external doors are closed to conserve energy.
- Reducing Single-Use Items
We are dedicated to keeping single-use items to an absolute minimum, opting for reusable alternatives wherever feasible.
The “Little Things” Matter
We believe that small actions can have a big impact. Simple measures, such as turning off lights when not in use, optimising heating systems, and encouraging environmentally conscious behaviour among our team, form an integral part of our approach to sustainability.
Looking to the Future
Sustainability is not just a one-time goal but an ongoing journey. At Four Seasons Marquees, we continually assess and evolve our practices to stay ahead in our commitment to a greener, cleaner planet. Together with our clients and partners, we aim to create memorable events that are as kind to the environment as they are spectacular.
