The Doyle Collection sets a new standard with Platinum ECOsmart Certification
The Doyle Collection’s portfolio of eight hotels across Ireland, the UK, and the United States have each been awarded platinum ECOsmart certification, recognising a company-wide drive to promote sustainability and environmental awareness throughout the business.
ECOsmart, and its operator, Greengage Solutions, recognises businesses that demonstrate a firm commitment to eco-friendly practices across a variety of areas, including energy and water use, waste reduction, and responsible sourcing in food and beverage services – based on standards recommended by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council.
“The Doyle Collection exemplifies what it means to be a true leader in sustainable luxury hospitality,” said Andrew Perolls, CEO of Greengage Solutions.
“Their achievement of our ECOsmart Platinum Certification reflects not just their commitment to environmental stewardship, but their ability to implement practical, effective sustainability solutions while maintaining the exceptional guest experience for which they’re known.”
Recent industry data emphasises the importance of this achievement. More than 75% of travellers plan to stay in a sustainable property at least once per year, while 83% of travel buyers report that a hotel’s carbon footprint influences their purchasing decisions.
Perolls added that The Doyle Collection’s Hotel Water Measurement Initiative (HWMI) and its detailed Climate Action Plan have “consistently demonstrated that luxury and sustainability can go hand-in-hand and are setting a new standard in the industry.”
Ruth Duggan, Head of Group Procurement and Sustainability at The Doyle Collection, credited the certification to the dedication of their teams across all locations who aspire to create a “hospitality experience that is both luxurious and sustainable.”
“This shows the commitment and hard work of our dedicated teams across all our hotels to achieve our sustainability goals and help us to ensure that The Doyle Collection continues to have a positive impact on the communities and cities that host our hotels,” Duggan continued.
“We are thrilled that our efforts have been recognised as making a positive change.”
With this certification, The Doyle Collection strengthens its reputation in the luxury hospitality sector and positions itself as a leader in responsible, forward-thinking travel – a move that resonates with today’s environmentally conscious travellers.
