Environmental, Sustainable and Social responsibility at the Dingle Skellig Hotel 

Here at the Dingle Skellig Hotel our commitment to our responsibility to the environment, our planet and our community is at the heart of our values. Our aim is to understand, control, monitor and reduce our use of water and energy as well as reducing our production of waste. 

We have implemented a number of actions within the hotel and each of our department heads lead their team on fostering and embracing these values. 

We do hope that during your stay that you will assist us on our journey. 

We have our own water supply here at the hotel and meter read to keep track of use. 

We have 4 EV chargers at the hotel which are complementary to our residents. 

We embrace and encourage our recycling and carbon reduction policy and have a reusable cup policy for staff. 

We aim to install water stations in 2023 for guests to remove all plastic bottles in the hotel.

We are rolling out the use of refillable in room amenities through the hotel. 

We encourage waste sorting in rooms and offer recycling bags. We also have colour coded bins for our staff use for ease. 

Our towel and linen reuse policy is displayed in our guest rooms. 

Where possible, all of our print material is now printed on uncoated stock made from recycled paper. 

We encourage all communication to be digital to reduce printing of memos. 

We have reduced our print order of items and reuse waste paper in the offices.

Our wedding flowers, wedding menu covers and table décor are all reusable.  

We employ a local workforce where possible with many staff relocating to Dingle and walking to work. 

We buy local where possible to reduce food miles and keep our carbon footprint low. We ask suppliers to also be mindful of packaging and to reuse their packaging where possible. 

As members of Dingle Peninsula Tourism Alliance we encourage slow tourism and responsible tourism. 

Each year we support a number of local charities, events and fundraisers.
