Business and Employer Accreditations

We constantly strive to improve the hotel product and guest experience at Knockendarroch, but we also have a keen focus on being the best employer that we can be and, ensuring that we do business with our guests and suppliers in a fair and ethical manner. We believe this approach is the only way forward, and although there are other things we still want to achieve, we have managed to reach a number of milestones and have been awarded accreditations from various respected foundations including The Living Wage Foundation and The Good Business Charter. Details on both below.

Carbon emissions and our Carbon Neutral status

We also work hard to minimise the impact our product has on the environment. Again, there is still a lot of work to be done here and we will keep chipping away as we seek out new opportunities. We are delighted that we are now a certified 'Carbon Neutral Business' after first auditing our emissions and then offsetting. Much more on our dedicated carbon emissions page here.

Knockendarroch is accredited by The Living Wage Foundation

The Living Wage Foundation

In April 2016 the government introduced a higher minimum wage rate for all staff over 25 years of age inspired by the Living Wage campaign - even calling it the ‘national living wage’.

However, this wage is not calculated according to what employees and their families need to live. Instead, it is based on a target to reach 66% of median earnings by 2024. The government minimum takes into account what is deemed affordable for businesses.

The real Living Wage rates are higher because they are independently-calculated based on what people need to get by. That's why we have now committed to ensure that all our employees (of any age) earn a wage that meets the costs of living, not just the government minimum and we are proud to have been accepted as a member of The Living Wage Foundation.

Good Business Charter

The Good Business Charter

The Good Business Charter is an accreditation which organisations in the UK can sign up to, in recognition of responsible business practices.

It measures behaviour over 10 components: real living wage (see above), fairer hours and contracts, employee well-being, employee representation, diversity and inclusion, environmental responsibility, paying fair tax, commitment to customers, ethical sourcing, and prompt supplier payment.

We are delighted to have been able to sign up to this charter and are confident that we can meet our obligations going forward.

If (as a guest or a supplier) you have any feedback for us on anything you have read here, then please get in touch with us at the hotel.
