Corporate Social Responsibility
Our Green Commitment
In addition to Oetker Collection CSR activities, The Lanesborough’s Corporate Social Responsibility team, also known as The Green Pearl Team, have a number of processes in operation with the goal of ensuring The Lanesborough is acting as socially responsible as possible, leaving a positive mark on the planet. We are a proud member of Considerate Hoteliers.
The Green Pearls have initiated an award system to recognise positive CSR actions undertaken by team members. Collectively, in 2019, our departments significantly reduced the use of plastic across the hotel. You will now find mostly glass water bottles as well as paper straws made from recyclable material throughout the hotel. We are also proud to promote and have paperless internal meetings at The Lanesborough. Read more about our green goals below.
We look forward to more exciting initiatives for further recycling implementation and energy consumption management.

Our Green Goals
We invite you to embark on a sustainable journey with The Lanesborough. Book your green stay to enjoy sustainable amenities upon arrival and a special tree planted in Hyde Park.
Our Back of House team works in close collaboration with an external company to sort our waste, with a priority to food waste whereby we contribute to circular economy of food waste. Our food waste becomes soil, which is then used to compost new crops.
Our fleet of luxurious chauffeur-driven cars used to transfer you to and from airports or around London at your leisure include a BMW 7-Series hybrid and a Range Rover Autobiography Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV) - allowing you to relax comfortably knowing you are not damaging the environment with unnecessary emissions.
We are delighted to be the first spa in the UK to welcome the globally loved ‘Queen of Green Beauty’, Tata Harper. You can experience Tata’s 100% natural and all-organic, custom created treatments and rituals, as well as purchase a full range of products from our boutique.
As a guest at The Lanesborough, you have the choice to change your room linen daily or every other day. This action is part of our desire to protect the environment and enables significant savings in water and energy.
In an effort to produce fewer greenhouse gases, lower land and water consumption, as well as continue to provide diversity in our food and beverage offerings, The Lanesborough's dedicated culinary team have created vegan dishes which can be enjoyed throughout the hotel.
