Our sustainability promise
At Jalou York, we recognise the influence and impact that our business has on the environment and the communities in which we operate. We are committed to sustainability and to minimising our environmental footprint, while enhancing the wellbeing of our guests, employees and local communities. We are supported in this journey by our sustainability accreditation partner, Green Tourism.

Supporting our community
We’re proud to give back to our local community through meaningful initiatives. As a student city we’ve dedicated to hosting various student events and nights in the venue 
Recent initiatives include our work with the Street Angels in the city, litter picking, membership with The Woodland Trust and working alongside York Fashion Week to help promote and facilitate a show.  


Environmental initiatives
Eco-friendly practices are at the heart of what we do.
We have daily checks in place to ensure that we continue saving energy. Our lighting is mostly LED and systems put in place to ensure unnecessary lighting is turned off, alongside this we have regular meter checks to energy usage and the information is shared with the team.

Our team
We believe in providing a safe and healthy workplace for all team members. We are committed to continually improving our business practices and minimising environmental impact. Our team members play a vital role in reducing our footprint by actively participating in sustainability efforts. Sustainability is a priority, with an on-site Sustainability Champion and regular training for all team members. Energy and activity targets are reported monthly to our head office to ensure progress.

Guest support
Our guests play a critical role in promoting sustainability in our venue. 
We encourage guests to use public transport to travel to and from our venues. We’re located next to some great travel routes from both bus and metro and only a short walk from the city centre.  


Your feedback
We value guest feedback and input in driving innovative ideas to reduce the environmental impact of our hotel. We encourage our guests to send feedback to each venue, sharing their ideas and suggestions for reducing waste, conserving resources, and promoting sustainable practices. By working together with our guests, we can continue to build a sustainability program that provides guests with the flexibility and freedom to stay in a way that aligns with their values and preferences, while also contributing to a more sustainable future.
