Wyboston Lakes shortlisted for Greengage 2022 Sustainability Awards

Wyboston Lakes Resort has revealed it has been shortlisted in the Greengage 2022 Sustainability Awards for Sustainability Initiative of the Year – accommodation and meetings venues.

It revealed this is the third nomination for sustainability by which the Resort has recently been recognised. It comes after being announced as a finalist for Best Sustainable Initiative at the M&IT Awards and for the Sustainability Award in the Meetings Industry Association’s miaList 2022.

Wyboston Lakes Resort recently announced a four-year Green Energy Roadmap as the foundation for its plan to become self-sufficient by producing its own green energy using the natural resources available at the resort, which will help to achieve its Net Zero Carbon Emissions target.

Steve Jones, MD of Wyboston Lakes Resort, said: “To be shortlisted by Greengage is a tremendous honour for us and reward for the continuing commitment of our team to driving innovations and implementing our policy of ‘More Sustainable, No Apology’ wholeheartedly.

“For many years we have been searching for and investing in sustainability projects, to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. As a result, for instance, all electricity used on the site is generated from renewable energy sources, saving more than 1,300 tonnes of Co2 emissions annually and reducing our carbon footprint by 65%.”

He added: “We recently improved our energy efficiency and reduced our fuel costs by investing approximately £110,000 in upgrading our ventilation systems to heat recovery units. These also dramatically improve the quality of air in the meetings spaces and many public areas.”
