Sustainability

We are currently working to establish One Hundred Shoreditch as a fully sustainable hotel. Our strategy is underpinned by the FuturePlus framework, a comprehensive ESG measurement and management platform that assesses sustainability across five themes: Climate, Environment, Economic, Diversity and Inclusion and Social.

As a community-centric property, we have committed to being a socially conscious business, and have been working with FuturePlus since January 2023, to understand, measure, manage, improve and report on our sustainability impact and goals. This is vitally important for us as we want to hold ourselves to the ambitious sustainability goals, we have set for One Hundred Shoreditch, in a rigorous and unambiguous manner. These results are demonstrated in a quarterly impact report that highlight our achieved goals and our ambition roadmap.

This work also includes official partnerships with the Considerate Group (B-Corp Certified) to ensure our energy and water consumption and carbon output is consistently monitored with formal reporting. We partner with Thrive (Impact Evaluation Standard , HM Treasury) to measure and monitor our social impact value and are additionally in the process of applying for a BREEAM In-Use certification to drive continuous sustainable improvements across the business. One Hundred Shoreditch has official charity partnerships with Spitalfields Crypt Trust and Foundation for Change.

sustainable refurbishment

 

This Project has been led by Jacu Strauss, Creative director for Lore Group and his team. They see themselves as custodians of our properties and for all projects spend time understanding the context of the built environment and its relationship to the neighbourhood.

They are always sympathetic to the original design and curate what is beautiful about the original property and how it connects to the local community. Taking the time to understand and appreciate the beauty and bones of each location and then revealing this to new audiences, gives new life to these built environments.

One Hundred Shoreditch has local history, and the community are attached to various aspects of this, the team wanted to respect rather than change this in the next evolution for the hotel. We see this in continuing themes throughout the experience, from the creation of a campus of buildings that are more in rhythm with the architecture of the street to the enhancement of the panelling, flooring and various fittings throughout our hotel.
