Sustainability

A committed journey towards responsible hospitality

Our commitment

At Axiom Hospitality, we are making efforts to reduce our carbon, energy, water and waste footprint. We strive to be ethical in all we do and want to be a thriving, sustainable and responsible business for our people, our communities and our planet. Working closely with our Hotel Owners, we are committed to the journey to sustainability.

Sustainability is not just a commitment; it's woven into the fabric of our ethos. Acknowledging the significance of environmental responsibility within the hospitality sector, we wholeheartedly adopt sustainable practices aimed at diminishing our ecological footprint. From energy-efficient initiatives to waste reduction strategies and community engagements, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment, all while delivering exceptional guest experiences.

Part of the community

Our hotels strive to be active members of their local communities by giving back where they can. Supporting local charities is important to our teams, from volunteering at soup kitchens, to collecting donations and fundraising. Our hotels aim to leave a positive impact in their neighbourhoods. At Axiom Hospitality we are working closely with our stakeholders to support our social impact commitment. Caring about people extends outside our business and is part of our DNA.

Axiom Hospitality is proud to be a Carefree breakmaker. In the UK, 80% of home care is unpaid. It is provided by a hidden workforce of 9 million remarkable individuals, 2 million of whom provide full-time care. A short break can be life-changing for a carer, yet the majority rarely manage to take time off. Government support is scarce and with little possibility of generating an income on their own, a break becomes an unaffordable luxury. Nearly half of all carers haven't had time off in the last 5 years. How can we help? By donating our rooms when they are not occupied, and our Truly Talented team making their break truly memorable. Hotel stays are 1-3 nights for one carer plus companion with breakfast included. Breaks are listed on Carefree's fully automated booking platform, which is only accessible by verified carers.

Supporting the welfare and wellbeing of parents of sick children. As parents of a sick child who underwent intensive treatment, Ceri & Fran spent many days and nights in hospital often feeling exhausted, anxious and isolated. Through this experience of hospitals, they saw first-hand areas in which parents could be further helped and supported. It's never you aims to be a fitting legacy in memory of Hugh, a thoughtful and caring boy who wanted to help others. Axiom Hospitality supports it’s never you through regular fundraising events, awareness activities and donations to support the work they do for parents of children with life-threatening illnesses.
