Sarnia Hotels has taken delivery of a new electric bus as part of a wider programme of sustainability initiatives.
The group – which runs Les Rocquettes, Moores and Havelet hotels – has introduced a specially-built electric bus to help guests move between locations and around the island more efficiently.
It has also installed eco-jets across the hotels to “reduce water consumption and save energy without compromising comfort”.
The measure is part of the group’s wider focus on operational improvements that deliver environmental benefits while supporting efficient hotel management.
Karel Harris, Managing Director, said even “small operational changes” could have a “significant impact” on sustainability.
She said: “The electric bus, eco-jets, hot composter and sustainable housekeeping scheme are practical measures designed to reduce waste, cut consumption and make more responsible hospitality part of the everyday guest experience.
“These changes only work because our staff understand why they matter and are committed to making them part of how we operate.”
Other improvements
Sarnia has also invested in an on-site hot composter, helping to reduce the amount of organic waste leaving the business and supporting a more circular approach to waste management.
Sarnia Hotels’ sustainable housekeeping scheme, introduced in April 2024, gives guests the option to forgo their daily room clean – and with £2 donated to charity every time they do.
Best Western Hotel de Havelet and Best Western Moores Hotel have also achieved REST credentials (responsible, ethical and sustainable tourism), a spokesperson said.
This is an evidence and data-based accreditation which recognises their commitment to responsible, ethical and sustainable tourism, they added.
