Analysis
Armada Hotel says it is committed to sustainability and conservation — here is what is documented
- The Armada Hotel states a commitment to sustainability and conservation, supported by its B Corp certification (achieved May 2023) and Green Hospitality Awards (Platinum accreditation, November 2013). The hotel has implemented significant initiatives, including the elimination of single-use plastics and the provision of refillable amenities. Renewable energy is utilized through 264 solar panels and 100% renewable Calor BioLPG in kitchens (as of August 2021), alongside investments in electric and air-to-water systems. Waste reduction efforts have led to over a 60% decrease in waste sent to landfill (as of November 2013), with composting of coffee grounds and compostable packaging for takeaway items. Water consumption has been reduced by 38% per guest (as of November 2013), and refill stations are available.
- Local impact is evident, with 80% of employees living within 10km and 73% of revenue spent locally (as of June 2023). The hotel also operates its own farm for fresh produce and collaborates with Coastwatch on seagrass conservation. Governance includes a Living Wage policy (as of February 2025) and efforts to close the gender pay gap.
- Based on available data, the hotel demonstrates strong operational sustainability and local community engagement. To further raise its trust tier, more detailed reporting on carbon emissions measurement and specific conservation outcomes would be beneficial.
