Environmental Policy

Green Statement

Here at Cameron House, we are fortunate enough to be situated in one of the most beautiful National Parks Scotland has to offer, right on the bonnie banks of the iconic Loch Lomond. It’s an area rich in heritage and incredible natural beauty that needs to be preserved.

Our goal is to care for and protect the unique natural environment around us. We have already made important steps on our journey to becoming a more environmentally and socially responsible business.

Our Environment

•  We measure our carbon emissions in Scopes 1 and 2 annually and are expanding this into Scope 3 to better understand our impact.
•  Our grid electricity comes from a 100% renewable electricity tariff, backed by REGO certificates, supporting the U.K.’s renewable energy market.
• We are installing a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant powered by LPG. The system will generate heat and electricity, improving overall energy efficiency by making better use of the fuel we consume.
•  To support low-emission travel, we have partnered with Connekt to provide 24 future-proof EV chargers across our resort for guests, staff, and the public.
•  We have introduced LED lighting and proximity-controlled lighting in certain areas to reduce our energy consumption.
•  99% of our waste is diverted from landfill through recycling, reuse, and energy recovery.
•  We actively support local biodiversity, including having protected beehives on site in collaboration with The Helensburgh and District Beekeepers Association, a partnerships with Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels, contributing to an increase in local populations and installation of bird, bat, and owl boxes and roosts across the resort, including heated bat roosts.
• Creation of wildflower meadows and nature sanctuaries through projects such as ‘The Untidy Garden’ and ‘The Enchanted Wood’.
• Our woodland management uses a 3:1 planting ratio for trees that are removed, ensuring all new trees planted on site are native species.
• In our kitchens, we prioritise local and organic produce where possible to help reduce food miles.
• Our kitchens also create seasonal dishes using produce grown in our raised beds, as well as wild food grown across the resort.
• Where possible, we use suppliers with recognised environmental and ethical sourcing standards.
•  All new employees receive training on environmental sustainability during their induction.

Our People

People are at the heart of the experience we offer. Over 70% of our team come from the surrounding area, bringing with them a deep understanding of the landscape, heritage, and character that make Cameron House unique. We support and foster strong community connections:

•  Each staff member is given one paid day per year to volunteer in the local community.
•  We support charities and local organisations, such as Beatson Cancer Charity and Scottish SPCA.
•  We collaborate with stakeholders across the National Park and beyond to promote and support social and environmental initiatives.
• Our workplace values inclusion, diversity, and fairness, ensuring all voices are heard and respected.

Our Future Commitments

To continue our shared success, we continually review and improve our practices in pursuit of sustainability:

• Engaging with employees in sustainability training and initiatives.
•  Complying with all relevant environmental and social regulations.
• Incorporating feedback and innovation to enhance our environmental and social practices.
