We are on a continuous mission to ensure we are operating our business in an environmentally conscious way.
Discover more below about the progress we have made and the commitments we continue to make to our environmental movement.
Our Vision
To become a green, environmentally friendly venue – continually reducing our carbon footprint, water consumption, and waste production, ensuring our venues have the most positive impact on our community and environment.
Our Mission
To harness the power of people to create positive environmental change at our venues, empowering them to ensure that what we do today does not impact the lives of future generations.
Environmental Policy
The Celtic Manor Resort understands that it is responsible for taking care of the environment and is dedicated to being an environmentally responsible business. Keeping the environment safe is important to our customers, employees, and suppliers; we are committed to regularly reviewing and continually improving our practices.
What We Do
- We are surrounded by 230 acres of woodland and naturally offset 465 tonnes of CO2 annually.
- We are exploring solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind energy to power our buildings. Watch this space.
- We are investing in a new innovative BMS system and replacing all lighting with LED.
- We divert 100% of our waste from landfills, of which 63% is recycled, and the remaining is used to create energy for community housing and businesses.
- From day one, we provide ongoing environmental awareness training to our teams.
- We have hydration stations throughout our venues to allow refills.
- Our 44 charging stations will support EV guests visiting our venues.
- We replaced our golf buggies with a new 100% electric fleet with state-of-the-art GPS tracking.
- We are surveying our air quality to help our people stay healthy.
- Using Ureco, we reduce water usage by 38% in our urinals and the need for harmful aerosol air fresheners.
- We have reduced our carbon by 50% between 2017 and 2022.
- We use smart meters to monitor and reduce our energy usage wherever possible.
- Bacteria consume the food we waste via anaerobic digestion, creating renewable energy in the local community. Also we repurpose our waste oil into biodiesel, which reduces carbon emissions by 88% compared to fossil fuels.
- We use combined heat and power to generate energy for our venues

We Are Recommended
“Becoming a net zero company is one of our biggest goals, and as we were planning an event like conferences in 2022, we were aiming to create as little carbon footprint as possible. One of the key reasons we chose Celtic Manor as a venue for an event – is you were able to share the details of how you use locally produced food, encourage travel by train by providing discounts, etc. With this in mind, we understood we will get Celtic Manor’s support on our sustainability agenda. Anything we did for the event (we have event calculated delegates’ travel miles!) this year has been calculated and offset.”
