  • How We Do Business
    How we do business As a conservation and education charity we focus on protecting the natural environment and engaging with communities to enhance the sustainability of our activities. Sustainability is the outcome of being a responsible organisation, in how we interact with our visitors, funders, suppliers, employees, the community and the world. These reflect both our charitable objectives and sensible business approach. Awards ISO14001 accreditation for our environmental management system (since April 2008) Business in the Community Excellence Awards- a Big Tick in the Climate Change Category (June 2010) Green Tourism Silver Award (May 2010) Energy We have introduced new energy-saving equipment such as replacing tungsten bulbs with LED bulbs. We highlight environmental awareness and best practice to all staff at quarterly meetings. We buy green electricity which has the required ROC certificates, We installed biomass boilers, run on sustainably-sourced wood pellets, into our Butterfly Forest exhibit that opened in 2008. These measures led to a reduction in gas consumption by 7.5%, (equivalent to 58 tCO2 and a financial saving of £1,767) in 2009, against 2008. Electricity consumption decreased by 18,399 KWh on our Clifton site, a reduction of 0.7%. Water Management We reduced water consumption in 2009 by 1,575 m3, a decrease of 3.5% against 2008. Since 2007 we have included rainwater harvesting in the design of new buildings. We collect rainwater from the Education Centre, Monkey Jungle and Gorilla House, to use around the gardens. We recycle water in exhibits as far as possible. In our Seal and Penguin Coasts and our Splash exhibits, the water is re-circulating.
