Planning, policies, and procurement

Golf is part of the solution.

Sustainability planning policies are essential frameworks that guide the development and implementation of practices aimed at promoting environmental, social, and economic sustainability. These policies focus on ensuring that current needs are met without compromising the ability of future generations.

Responsible procurement across our supply chain and exceeding legislation:

  • Including environmental considerations as an integral element of all procurement decisions.
  • Engaging with our supply chain to identify and reduce the environmental impacts of our purchases through collaboration.
  • Meeting or exceeding all environmental legislation applicable to our operations.

  • Renewable Energy

    We at Redbourn know that renewable energy could have the biggest impact on the future of the planet.

    We have been in conversations with UK Power Network about upgrading our power lines to facilitate the transition to more electric power and less gas.

    Changing from a gas hob to electric will reduce carbon emissions by 3 times whilst being 34% more energy efficient, which will aid our reduction in gas usage.

  • Upcycling Project

    Using upcycled pallet wood and old wood from trees that were identified as dangerous and needed to be felled, our maintenance team have created some amazing pieces, a bespoke welcome sign with a flowerpot, recycling bins, flower beds and several log benches.

  • Cling Film

    The banning of the use of clingfilm has seen the reduction of 54km of clingfilm in the past 5 years. This is the equivalent to the 1 ½ hour drive from Redbourn Golf Club to London’s Elephant and Caste tube station

  • Condiments

    Instead of having plastic sauce bottles on each table in the Food and Beverage Department, we now give our ramekins of sauce on request. This has reduced our plastic waste by an estimated 18 kilos a year.

  • Paperless HR system

    Across Burhill, we are transitioning to a paperless HR system, Access, over the next few months. We are excited to see the difference in paper use with time.
