Our Environmental Policy

For the second year running we've been given Visit Britain's five star quality accreditation as a holiday village - their highest possible accolade. Located on the Fylde Coast, within 100 acres, Ribby Hall Village is committed to offering the highest level of service and quality of facilities to all audiences including holiday guests, holiday home owners, business delegates, banqueting guests, sport & leisure members and day visitors.

As a business we understand that in providing services for all our audiences, there will be to some degree, an impact on the environment. Our aim is therefore to reduce the impact of the activities carried out within The Village without compromising on the standard of service provided. In order to achieve our aim, we must:

• Measure our performance by setting benchmarks and targets for continual improvement for past, current and future projects
• Control pollution by reducing our environmental impact
• Ensure environmental consideration from our chosen suppliers - we expect a high quality of product / service, as well as a high standard of environmental integrity
• Ensure legislated environmental requirements are a minimum standard - best practice will be observed wherever is applicable
• Train employees - ensuring all staff are aware of the environmental impact of their daily activities and what they can do to minimise their impact in order to help The Village to meet its environmental goals
• Communicate targets and achievements to all staff, customers and suppliers - helping to ensure continued efforts and success

We are committed to

• Reducing waste to landfill by reducing waste and recycling as much as is operationally possible
• Reducing energy consumption with an ongoing program of improvements
• Continually improving our environmental performance by reviewing new technologies and methods of business

We hope to create a sustainable business that will enable Ribby Hall Village staff and visitors to enjoy The Village for many more years to come.

Parking – how you are helping us look after the environment

At Ribby Hall Village we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and are also responding to requests to reduce traffic within The Village. Therefore, to encourage our guests to bring only one car onto The Village, there will be an additional cost of £5 per car per day for the second or additional cars. This tariff applies to all guests, with the exception of those who display a valid and recognised disability disc in their windscreens. We would like to assure you that we make no profit from this; instead we are working with The Wildlife Trust to invest the money into environmental projects both within The Village and the surrounding areas. In 2009 £10,000 was donated to go towards The Wildlife Trust activities taking place on The Village and a further £7,000 was donated to their Carbon Capture Scheme.
