Climate Change

At Crossways, we are working to reduce and mitigate our impact on the environment. We are trying to do this in the most effective and efficient ways without impacting adversely on the guest experience. There are two main strands of activity we want to highlight:

Go Positive

We are working with Go Positive, a local consultancy, to reduce our carbon footprint, meaning we are committed to calculating and reducing our impact on climate change year on year. This involves a rigorous assessment process leading to the development of an action plan aimed at identifying key areas where we can make improvements. You can watch us talking with Eoin McQuone of Go Positive about our work

We are really pleased to say that our latest assessment, covering 2022, confirms that we are now a carbon-positive business. This means we helped to slow down the increase in global warming in the year of certification, as we financed or helped others to save more greenhouse gas emissions than we produced.

Working with Go Positive has allowed us to focus more effectively, adapting and improving some things we were already doing. These include reducing packaging as much as possible, sourcing locally and reducing food waste. There are more details on our Go Positive page.

Working to Revitalise and Transform Forests Globally

Crossways is proud to be partnering with Ecologi and Eden Reforestation Projects to help us plant our forest through our monthly donation and our ‘buy direct and plant a tree’ scheme.
We’re planting trees around the world and here in Gloucestershire. You can check out our statistics on the Ecologi web site and see where our trees have been planted so far. You can even make your own secure donation if you like.

How It Works

Book directly with us, either through our web site or by calling or e-mailing us. When you check out we will make a donation to help plant a clump of 40 trees. The donation is worth £6.00.

We can label the donation with your name or message if you like up to a maximum of 30 characters.
The offer only includes first-time bookings for a minimum of two days made directly with us. Please mention Ecologi if booking by e-mail or over the phone. If you are booking directly online, please mention Ecologi in your requirements.
