Sustainability

We are currently working to establish One Hundred Shoreditch as a fully sustainable building. This includes becoming an official partner of Considerate Group (B-Corp Certified) to ensure our operational procedures and systems have been audited and are monitored with formal reporting. This will include the tracking and reporting of all energy and water consumption plus waste and carbon output. We are additionally in the process of applying for a BREEAM In-Use certification to drive continuous sustainable improvements. One Hundred Shoreditch is an official member of the Heart of the City program and is committed to doing well by doing good.

As a community centric property, we have committed to reducing our carbon emissions by 66% by 2030 and 90% by 2050 across our business and are working with our teams, partners and guests to meet the challenges ahead. One Hundred Shoreditch operates with 100% renewable electricity.

While we commit to all 17 UNSDGs, Lore Group have chosen to champion specific goals to support the value proposition of our strategy:

  • Good health and well-being
  • Quality education
  • Decent work and economic growth
  • Sustainable cities and communities
  • Responsible consumption and production

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.
