At High Oaks Grange, we are dedicated to providing our guests with an exceptional holiday experience while ensuring the conservation of our beautiful Yorkshire countryside setting. Our commitment to ethical, responsible, and sustainable practices is at the heart of everything we do, from the way we manage our luxury cottages, lodges, and glamping pods to how we interact with our local communities and natural surroundings.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We recognize the importance of protecting the North York Moors National Park and the wider environment.
To minimize our impact, we commit to working towards reducing our carbon footprint by prioritising waste production and increasing energy efficiency.
We offer recycling facilities across our 60-acre estate where guests can separate their glass, paper and general waste.
We are part of the CleanConscious initiative. CleanConscience is an organisation which works alongside hotels and toiletry manufacturers to ensure that plastic bottles are recycled, and the maximum amount of partially used hotel soap and toiletries are recovered, re-purposed and redistributed for the benefit of those most in need.
Although we are unable to offer EV charging facilities onsite, guests can find local EV facilities at https://www.zap-map.com/charge-points/pickering.
We operate a Tree Planting Scheme within North Yorkshire.
Supporting Local Communities
High Oaks Grange is deeply rooted in the local Yorkshire community. Our commitments include:
Sourcing locally-produced goods and services to support the local economy while reducing transportation emissions.
Promoting local attractions, dining, and activities to our guests, encouraging a deeper appreciation and support of the local culture and heritage.
Encouraging Responsible Tourism
We want our guests to enjoy the stunning landscapes and rich biodiversity of the North York Moors responsibly. Therefore:
We provide information and resources on how to enjoy the natural surroundings without causing harm, including guidelines on responsible hiking, cycling, wildlife observation and the countryside code.
Our accommodation options are designed to blend with the environment, minimizing visual impact and promoting harmony with nature. We use low level lighting to protect the dark skies.
Ethical Practices in Our Operations
High Oaks Grange operates with the highest ethical standards concerning our guests, employees, and the communities we impact.
We ensure a fair and inclusive workplace, promoting diversity and equal opportunities.
We maintain transparency in our operations, offering clear and honest communication with our guests regarding our sustainability initiatives and how they can participate.
We engage in fair and ethical marketing practices, promoting only what we truly offer and believe in.
Continuous Improvement
We are committed to ongoing improvement in our ethical, responsible, and sustainable practices. We actively seek feedback from our guests, employees, and the local community to identify areas for growth. Regular training and awareness campaigns keep our team informed and engaged in our policy goals.
