The Chesterfield's Sustainability Initiatives

At The Chesterfield Mayfair, our commitment to environmental and social responsibility has a multifaceted approach, find out more about our holistic dedication to creating a positive impact on both the environment and the community below.

CLIMATE 

We have identified 72 single use plastics used within the operations of the hotel, and are committed to eliminating all of them. Most notable of the recent removals include our welcome guest turn down amenities, which are now completely plastic-free from Floris. 

FOOD

Food waste at The Chesterfield Mayfair is an incredibly important issue, and our team are creating innovative solutions to reduce and re-work edible food waste that would otherwise be thrown away. All coffee grinds and raw fruit and vegetable trimmings are now being converted into compost via Winnow, a food waste solution technology. Powered by artificial intelligence, Winnow identifies and measures food waste - producing guidance to enable our chefs to make necessary changes in their production. 

The system also shows the value of waste visually in terms of money and environmental impacts. This is a huge motivator for our kitchen team who are working tirelessly to reduce food waste by 50% by 2025.

Local & Organic Suppliers

All of our meat is sourced from Aubrey Allen, a local and organic supplier that also holds a royal warrant to provides meat to the royal households. Renowned for their commitment to quality and traditional craftsmanship, Neal's Yard Dairy provides the hotel with a curated selection of exceptional cheeses, enhancing the culinary experience and embodying the essence of fine dining at the Chesterfield Mayfair. H Forman smoked salmon is served as one of our most popular starters with traditional accompaniments, and also in our smoked salmon sandwiches for Afternoon Tea. 

Volunteering 

At The Chesterfield Mayfair, we encourage volunteering days as part of our employees working schedule. Activities include volunteering at the London Soup Kitchen (where around 140 meals are served for visitors each day), various pop-up events in aid of Hospitality Action, supporting Hands on London, charity fundraising and competitive sports games, bake sales, and supporting at a local women’s educational shelter.

WILDLIFE

The Chesterfield Mayfair is home to 3 bee colonies. Guided by a professional apiarist, members of the hotel from different departments come together to form the 'Bee Team' who are responsible for the welfare and upkeep of our Chesterfield bees. They learn about how to care for bees and how important they are for the environment.
