Responsible Custodians
With two hotels, an 850-acre estate, three golf courses, 11 bars and restaurants and a large workforce, Gleneagles is a big operation, and we recognise our responsibility in minimising our impact.
We’re committed to being responsible custodians of Gleneagles and Gleneagles Townhouse, creating a positive legacy by minimising our carbon footprint; playing our part in preserving natural assets for future generations; and actively using our voice and resources to give back where we can to support our friends and neighbours, locally, nationally and globally.
Caring for the environment
We’re doubling our efforts by putting sustainability at the heart of everything we do and playing our part in tackling the global climate emergency.

Our Sustainable Certifications
We’re proud of the positive contribution we make in communities locally and across the country, in using our resources to address many of the key issues facing society.
Our Five Pillars of Responsibility
We have five environmental and social responsibility pillars which guide and frame our commitment to making a positive difference.
Conserve Nature
As custodians of this Glorious Playground, we work tirelessly to conserve nature and support healthy ecosystems for future generations.
Source Responsibly
We’re committed to working collaboratively with suppliers who meet our high sustainability values to create a positive impact in our local communities and beyond.
We’re privileged to have our own wee green oasis on our estate, The Kitchen Garden, where we grow our own produce for our restaurants and bars.
Our Garden Café is perfect for meeting friends and family, catching up over delicious light bites and home-baked cakes, all washed down with the finest choice of teas and coffee. But where do we source our coffee?
Gilmour Butchers, are a third-generation family business based near Edinburgh who’ve been supplying our chefs with high quality, sustainably sourced meat for almost a decade.
Protect Our Planet
To support a healthy planet, we’re taking action to minimise our carbon footprint and are committed to reaching Net-Zero emissions by 2040.
Give Back
We’re renowned for making every single guest feel special, but we’re also dedicated to making a positive difference to the lives of those who need it most through key charity partnerships, community engagement, fundraising and volunteering opportunities for our team.
We’re proud to partner with several charity partners, including ANDYSMANCLUB, a charity that encourages men to open up about their feelings and promotes suicide prevention.
For over 30 years, we’ve been proud hosts of the Auchterarder centre of Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA), providing life-changing experiences to children with physical and learning disabilities and autism.
In 2020, we launched an innovative charitable initiative to thank the heroes of the pandemic by donating 365 free room nights to NHS workers each year for five years – or 1825 complimentary stays.
Nurture Talent
Through a range of initiatives, scholarships and partnerships, Gleneagles is supporting the industry, championing hospitality careers and transforming lives by helping to remove the barriers many disadvantaged individuals face to entering or staying in employment.
