Sustainability

Our collective mark on the environment and it’s natural processes are more important than ever, as we seek to sustain the world around us. Litter, disturbance to vegetation, water pollution, wildlife, and other people are all indicators of the need to develop a national ethos that protects both natural and cultural heritage to preserve its beauty for all to enjoy.

Our Green Initiatives

To do our part for the environment we have adopted the following initiatives;

We have purchased a windfarm in Cavan which provides 60% of our energy.
In 2023 we installed solar panels in Wrights Angler’s Rest.
Sustainable transport – we have offered a 10% discount to customers who show us they’ve cycled or travelled by boat to our premises in Howth.
Dublin Bay Cruises and Bleeper
We use compostable straws throughout our venues.
We have eradicated single-use condiment sachets in the group.
We promote the use of reusable cups in all our premises in line with the Conscious Cup Campaign.
Most of our administration has moved to cloud-based services to help reduce the amount of paper we use.
We use recyclable and compostable takeaway containers.
In Marqette, Dublin Airport, as per an EU Directive, the EU Plastics Strategy, plastic products including cutlery, plates, straws and beverage stirrers will be banned from July 2021.
When sourcing products we try to buy Irish where ever possible to keep our carbon footprint as small as possible. Our coffee for example is roasted in Dun Laoghaire.
We use brown compost bins in all our outlets.
We have committed to the Refund Deposit Scheme implemented in Ireland.
We work closely with VOICE, The Conscious Cup Campaign, Howth Tourism, and Fingal County Council in order to keep doing better with our green initiatives.
