Sustainability
Our Green Journey
🌿 At Baker Street, nestled in the heart of Scotland’s stunning historic landscape, we are deeply committed to environmental stewardship and sustainability. We understand the privilege of being located in such a breathtaking region – and with that comes a responsibility to protect and preserve it for generations to come.
🌱 Environmental Responsibility
Our operations are guided by a fundamental respect for the natural world. From the planning of our accommodation to the everyday running of our property, every decision is made with the environment in mind. We strive to minimise our ecological footprint while offering our guests a comfortable and enriching stay.
♻️ Sustainability in Action
We embrace the principles of sustainability through a holistic approach that balances environmental care, guest experience, and community well-being. This includes:
- Energy Efficiency: The apartment is fitted with energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting throughout.
- We monitor and manage our energy usage carefully to reduce consumption without compromising comfort.
- Renewable Energy: Our electricity is sourced from 100% renewable providers, helping to reduce carbon emissions and support green energy initiatives across the UK.
- Water Conservation: We’ve installed low-flow taps and dual-flush toilets to reduce water usage, and we encourage our guests to reuse towels and linens where possible. We use sustainable washing , cleaning and paper products.
- Waste Reduction: Recycling facilities are provided in the apartment and we aim to reduce single-use plastics
- by offering reusable alternatives, such as glass bottles and refillable soap dispensers.
- Ethical Sourcing: Where possible, furnishings and supplies are sourced locally or from sustainable producers. Our welcome hampers feature locally made, organic products that support ethical and eco-friendly Scottish businesses.
🌍 Transparency and Progress
We are committed to being open about our environmental impact and continually reviewing our practices to improve
sustainability. Feedback from our guests plays a crucial role in helping us evolve our green journey.
We are currently working towards Green Tourism Certification .
💚 Why It Matters
Choosing to stay at Baker Street means you are supporting a property that values the planet as much as you do. Our green credentials are more than a checklist – they are a reflection of our ethos. By reducing our footprint and making conscious choices, we aim to inspire others and contribute to a more sustainable future for Scotland and beyond.
We warmly welcome eco-conscious travellers and invite you to be a part of our green journey. Together, we can enjoy the beauty of Scotland while ensuring it remains unspoiled for the future.
Thank you for supporting sustainable travel.
Our Commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
We believe that everyone connected with our business — whether as an employee, customer, supplier or partner — deserves to be treated fairly, respectfully and without discrimination.
To support this, we have clear policies in place covering equal opportunities and anti-discrimination. We recruit inclusively, provide training on unconscious bias and respectful behaviour, and ensure reasonable adjustments for anyone who needs them.
We regularly review pay, progression and representation to identify and address any inequalities, and we maintain confidential reporting channels so that concerns can be raised safely and acted upon.
Accessibility is a priority across both our physical and digital spaces, and we expect our suppliers and partners to uphold the same high standards.
By monitoring our progress and being transparent about our actions, we are committed to continuous improvement and to creating an environment where everyone can thrive.
