In today’s corporate world, sustainability is no longer optional – it’s an expectation. That’s why more businesses and long-stay travellers are discovering the benefits of eco-conscious serviced accommodation. At House of Fisher, our commitment to the environment is woven into every stay, and that’s what makes us the responsible choice for modern, mindful travellers. Our sustainability journey and commitment started years ago, as pioneers for environmental change within our sector.
1. Travel Less, Stay Longer – and Lessen Your Impact
With the rise of hybrid work and virtual meetings, business trips are becoming less frequent but longer, and when travel is necessary, every trip counts. Serviced accommodation helps reduce carbon emissions through fewer journeys and extended stays. And thanks to strategic locations near public transport hubs, guests at House of Fisher properties can easily swap car journeys for greener options like buses and trains. This makes commuting or attending meetings more environmentally friendly and convenient.
2. Sustainability at the Heart of Design
At House of Fisher, sustainability is embedded in the very design of our apartments and operations. When possible, renewable energy powers our properties, complemented by LED lighting, energy-efficient insulation, and automatic heating controls. Double glazing and on-site recycling bins make it easy for guests to stay green. Policies like moving to digital brochures and embracing online systems help reduce paper waste across the board.
3. Green Amenities & Guest Empowerment
We take guest experience one step further by providing greener amenities and practical guidance on sustainable living. All bathrooms feature toiletries’ bottles made from recycled plastic which are fully recyclable, the soap bar is crafted from 100% vegetable oil and is an environmentally packed product.
Guests also receive in-apartment information encouraging eco-friendly behaviour, including tips for low-impact living, EV charging information, local recycling links, and how to use the “Too Good To Go” app to reduce food waste.
4. Practical Housekeeping That Reduces Waste
Our housekeeping schedules are tailored for sustainability. Instead of daily cleaning as seen in hotels, guests receive weekly or bi-weekly services, dramatically reducing laundry and energy usage. With energy-efficient washers, dishwashers, and cleaning products, your stay feels clean, comfortable – and mindful.
5. Communal Living, Shared Environmental Responsibility
With 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartments available, as well as 3 bedrooms at selected locations, there are huge environmental and financial benefits from sharing, which is something we encourage. When multiple guests use a shared lounge or kitchen, they reduce energy use per person – whether from cooking appliances or heating. Plus, such arrangements encourage social connections and collaboration during extended stays.
6. Accredited and Actively Improving
House of Fisher holds the Greengage ECOsmart Certified Plus Accreditation (2024), earned through rigorous evaluation of energy and water use, waste management, plastics, consumables, and CSR practices.
Our Green Team meets on a regular basis to innovate, share community initiatives, and drive progress. Guest feedback surveys have even influenced our in-apartment green messaging and sustainability training for staff, ensuring transparency and engagement.
7. Community Commitment & Charitable Actions
We proudly support local causes like Launchpad, a homelessness prevention charity in Reading, by donating furniture; we have also donated office equipment and time for litter picking to others. We also plant trees through our use of Ecosia as the default search engine on company computers, contributing to reforestation and carbon reduction.
At 100 Kings Road, we’ve implemented a community notice board highlighting local events, charity opportunities, and discount offers, helping guests explore and support local culture.
