Going Green at Graston Copse Holiday Park

 Our Environmental Policy

The Directors of West Dorset Leisure Holidays are of the belief that the Company has a duty of care to the environment. Everyone involved in the Company is committed to a policy of environmental protection and accept their responsibility to provide by whatever means they can to promote environmental best practice. Good environmental management will be achieved through;

• Embodying elements of planning and park development which are environmentally sensitive. The operation of Parks in and near the Heritage Coastline and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is one of the most marketable assets the Company has, and the parks will be developed in ways which reflect and protect the surrounding area.

• Encouraging the Caravan Holiday Home Owners and Residents in hire accommodation and touring units to participate in all aspects of the environmental protection. The Company will actively seek out ways to enhance our environmental image through activities, services and products that promote good environmental management.

• Training at all levels to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements as well as improving customer care.

• Adopting best practice in waste management and recycling. The Company is committed to reducing water, energy and material consumption and waste generation, through the involvement of guests, management and staff alike.

All of our Parks offer recycling facilities for your waste, please help us to help the environment by separating your rubbish and disposing of it in the correct recycling bins.
