Net Zero

At Crossways, we are working to reduce and mitigate our impact on the environment. We are trying to do make our business net zero in the most effective and efficient ways without impacting adversely on the guest experience.

Go Positive

We have worked 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 involved a rigorous assessment process developing 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 proud that our 2023 assessment confirmed 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.

Free Coffee Grounds

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 or from sustainable sources and reducing food waste.

We use a Bokashi bin system to turn all our food waste into garden fertiliser. Do feel free to ask us how this works! We can also offer you free bags of coffee grounds for guests to use on their own gardens. Coffee grounds are a natural, long-term way to enrich soil and speed up the composting process, using waste that would otherwise end up in landfill. As they are high in nitrogen, coffee grounds can help with plant growth, particularly for acid-loving plants such as azaleas, hydrangeas and lilies, as well as root crops like carrots or radishes. Check the Gardener’s World site for more information and to check that you can use the ground safely and appropriately.

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 20 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.
