Devon's Crealy has been awarded Silver in the Green Tourism Business Scheme assessment, a highly respected award set up specifically for the tourism industry to promote sustainable tourism.

Sustainability is at the heart of tourism and is vital to everyone's future well-being. We know that you agree because 97% of our guests support our environmental efforts, particularly our aim to be carbon neutral.

Angela Wright, MBE, Managing Director said, “Crealy is very proud to have been recognised for our environmental achievements. We take our responsibility to environment very seriously and are committed to sustainable tourism, which we believe is vital to the future of the industry as a whole.

“The Green Tourism Business Scheme is a highly respected award and we consider it a real accomplishment. We have been very impressed with the results of our work with The Carbon Trust, Envision and the Devon Environmental Business Initiative in terms of energy saving and staff training.”

Crealy’s Environmental Policy has led to increased recycling and major energy savings, with the Park’s annual electricity consumption reduced by 10% and water consumption by 15%.

Crealy has a dedicated ‘Green Team’ of staff working in conjunction with our Environment Consultants who advise according to the audits they have completed here. We also work closely with our suppliers, many of whom are local to ensure that our efforts encompass the whole business.
