Environmental Commitment

Sustainability

Protecting our Natural Environment in Every Way We Can

We are proud of where we live. Our cultural heritage is deeply rooted in the Scottish landscape: the lochs, the munros, and everything in between. Our resort conservation team spends their time encouraging local wildlife, increasing feeding opportunities, and protecting natural environments. Our commitment to hard work, passion, and dedication has been rewarded with a prestigious ‘Gold’ award from Green Tourism, a testament to our ongoing efforts to protect the place we call home.

Sustainability Highlights

Waste Management

We are proud to divert 99% of our waste from landfill through a robust combination of recycling, composting, and energy recovery. With continued commitment to this, we hope to achieve 100% in the near future, reinforcing our dedication to a circular economy and minimising our environmental impact.

Local produce, served by the season

We serve a diverse range of dishes across our restaurants, including vegetarian, vegan, and eco- conscious options. Our kitchen garden supplies around 60% of LOMA’s herbs, flowers and fruit, helping to reduce food miles while maximising freshness. Our menus change with the seasons, allowing us to showcase the very best of what Scotland has to offer. We also forage for ingredients, ensuring a sustainable approach that highlights local produce at its peak.

Wildlife Conservation

We actively maintain wildlife corridors that let birds, mammals, and insects move safely across the estate. Owl and bat boxes provide essential homes for nocturnal species, while managed beehives pollinate our gardens and produce sustainable honey, which guests can purchase in the Wee Shop.

Loch

Protecting the waters that shape our surroundings

We see the loch not just as a backdrop, but as a living ecosystem entrusted to our care; one that shapes everything we do and deserves our active protection in return.

Shoreline resilience
Additional tree planting along the loch shore helps reduce erosion and strengthen natural flood defences.

Water stewardship
At The Carrick, irrigation is sourced from the lagoon and replenished through rainwater harvesting, reducing reliance on mains water.

Nature reserve care
Our stewardship extends to the Midross Nature Reserves, a rich landscape of lagoons, wetlands and woodland.

Conservation partnerships
We work in partnership with volunteers from Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park to support these important natural spaces.

Wildlife monitoring
Regular species monitoring, including otter surveys, helps protect habitats and guide long term ecosystem care.
