Sustainability

The Langlands are committed to honouring the Tiaki Promise:

The Tiaki Promise is a commitment to care for New Zealand, for now, and for future generations. By following the Tiaki Promise, we are making a commitment to act as a guardian, protecting and preserving our home.

By incorporating small steps we can help make a big difference.

• Natural and non-toxic chemical free cleaning is used in all areas of the hotel to protect the environment, our guests and team.

• We are using refillable dispensers which are NZ made and fully recyclable for our bathroom amenities.

• 28667 plastic bottles saved from landfill by being manufactured into our luxurious bedding by Vendella.
Visit their website here to discover their story.

• Recycling bins are installed in guest rooms and for hotel use for recycling of all paper, cardboard, and glass.

• Water stations are available for guests and staff to refill their receptacles.

• 9000+ plastic bottles are saved from landfill per year by using locally sourced milk that is delivered fresh in returnable bulk plastic kegs.

• Our Brew’d coffee beans are sourced from Mint Roastery, just down the road. The beans are delivered in reusable metal buckets which reduces wastage.

• All takeaway coffee cups are fully compostable.

• An EV charger is available for guests in the carpark for charging their electric vehicles.

• We have specified our uniform supplier provide clothing that is locally sourced and is environmentally friendly by using recyclable products and no plastic packaging or plastic used in production of the clothing.

• The construction phase of the hotel included the importance of reserving what could be salvaged. Meld restaurant and Niche Bar brick work is from repurposed bricks and the staircase is made from timber from the building that stood here before The Langlands.

• The hotel guest compendiums are electronic, thus reducing paper in the rooms.

• We offer press reader, online media options to reduce printed media in all rooms.

• We endeavour to support New Zealand made producers and suppliers, to reduce our carbon footprint and contribute to the local economy.

• Food and Beverage, Duty Managers and porters use electronic tablets to complete all checklists reducing daily printing.

• We have chosen to install electricity as a main energy source, instead of a coal fuelled boiler or other system, to minimise our carbon footprint.

• The hotel has energy efficient LED lighting, which lasts longer, is more durable, and offers better light quality than other types of lighting. All public area lighting is on sensors which reduces energy consumption when the spaces are not in use.
