HOTEL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY  (for our expanded policy click here)

The management and staff of  BAYVIEW CHATEAU TONGARIRO believe that as part of our goals as the premiere hotelier company in the RUAPEHU REGION, we must lead not only economically, but environmentally and socially as well. The company understands that it is in a prominent position to affect the environment in RUAPEHU. Our objective is not only to sustain our environment for our descendants but also to rehabilitate the damage previously done.

We believe that our corporate responsibility goes beyond our proprietary borders and we endeavor to co operate with our neighbors and our suppliers to develop our business in a sustainable manner. Every effort will be made to conserve resources throughout our operations. Our purchasing department will seek products and services of local origin and that are environmentally benign.

 For Example our Eco Tidy door hangers are made from a natural product SAVANNAH NATURAL ART PAPER.  Specs for this stock from the merchant (NZ Owned)Prestige 2 side coated recycled art paper made from recycled fibrous residue from processed sugar cane (Bagasse) Ideal for those customers that are environmentally conscious, Acid Free-Neutral Sizing, Archival Properties-long life

All new printed items where possible will be using 'green paper'.  One of our stocks we are now using is ecoStar.

Guest amenities are donated to the local womens refuge where possible along with surplus/ old branded items.

Our oil from our restaurants and cafes is collected and used for bio diesel and our food scraps are collected by a local farmer for his pigs.

We choose to hire local whenever possible. Our success will be determined on a yearly basis with a commitment to improve. Furthermore, the company will not only meet existing environmental laws and regulations, but go beyond the status quo and seek techniques and approaches that position us ahead of our competition.

Our policy towards the environment will be readily available and promoted to our business partners and guests. Growth of our company depends on our abilities to minimize or eliminate our impacts on our surroundings. Our ultimate success depends on the environment of NEW ZEALAND, without a beautiful country, our customers will cease to come. Our company's future and the future of our environment are interconnected.
