Sopwell House has been awarded the EarthCheck Silver Benchmark, a certification recognising the hotel’s environmental management and operational practices.
The accreditation follows a benchmarking process by EarthCheck, a leading global group for sustainable tourism that monitors energy use, water consumption, and waste management.
The country house hotel and spa has implemented a 0% landfill policy across all departments.
Under this system, waste is repurposed or recycled; for example, coffee grounds and tea leaves from the hotel’s food and beverage outlets are utilised as natural fertiliser within the property’s gardens.
Sustainability initiatives at the property are managed by a dedicated ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) team and a Green Team taskforce. These groups oversee staff training and the procurement of locally sourced and Fairtrade products.
The hotel also operates community-focused schemes, including incentivising guests to provide their own spa footwear to reduce single-use plastic and running charitable fundraisers for local St Albans causes.
Rafi Bejerano, hotel director at Sopwell House, said: “Achieving EarthCheck Silver is a reflection of our team’s commitment to environmental stewardship. We are proud of this achievement as we look ahead to strengthening our business resilience and preserving the environment.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
