Climate Action, Carbon Management

How do we keep our commitments? 

We work with established and expert organisations, including BREEAM, the leading science-based sustainable-building certification and solutions-led measurement and management system, FuturePlus, GreenGage and CarbonPlus. We seek independent guidance from dedicated specialists, including CarbonXGen; Code Green; De Groene Grachten and Numerical Buildings to decarbonise our hotels.

How are we implementing a climate action strategy? 

In short, through a drive towards decarbonisation thanks to the measurement and auditing of our utility consumption and emissions. It’s vital that all greenhouse gas emissions resulting from all hotel activity are tracked – this is where we are all over our scopes 1, 2 and partial scope 3, which are independently verified and assured by CarbonPlus. Through scientifically monitoring these scopes, investing in efficiencies and staying up to date with the latest legislation and tools, we are able to demonstrate annual improvements.

We avoid external third-party offset carbon credits, and from 2025 have reduced our emissions at source by adopting renewable energy for electricity throughout the UK; Netherlands and DC regions.

Climate Change Risk Assessments

Annual Assessments are carried out to establish the potential risks and impacts that may occur to our hotel businesses directly due to climate change. By identifying risk factors, impact, mitigation, and adaptation can be implemented. Joined-up thinking includes FuturePlus supporting us in understanding all risks, and all of our owner-operated buildings were assessed in June 2026 for long-term investments and improvements.

Task Force on Financial-Related Financial Disclosures — over and above compliance 

In 2022, the UK became the first country in the world to make TCFD-aligned risk disclosure mandatory for large, UK-registered companies: these are listed companies, banks, or insurers with more than 500 employees. Lore Group properties don’t fall within this regulatory reporting, but since we fall within the scope 3 reporting of businesses we work with, we have carried out a top-line voluntary risk assessment as part of a broader climate change mitigation and adaptation plan and used the TCFD disclosure framework as best practice. We elect to go above and beyond what’s mandatory.
