This has been independently validated by "Go Climate Positive". About us Whatley Manor is a grown-up getaway in the heart of the Cotswolds. Set in 12 acres of gardens with 26 distinctly different areas. Come on in and discover a whole new relaxed and very enjoyable experience.

Activities
We are helping our suppliers to get to Net ZeroWe have started to work with our suppliers to help them understand their contribution to our carbon footprint and encourage them to commit to reducing their emissions. We aim to have 80% of our suppliers (by emissions) committed to Net Zero and with an active carbon reduction plan by 2028. |
We are reducing our food wasteFood waste is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. We have committed to start tracking, with the aim to understand how to reduce, our food waste in detail from 2022 onwards. |
