Here at Peppers Gallery, we are committed to embedding sustainability into every facet of our daily operations. We recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey and are continually striving to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. Below are some of the initiatives we have implemented to date.
We are delighted to share our ongoing commitment to reducing single-use plastics in our guest rooms. As part of this initiative, we have made a significant decision to eliminate single-use dry amenities, taking a bold step towards a plastic-free environment.
We understand the importance of preserving our planet for future generations. By removing single-use plastic amenities such as toothbrushes, combs, and shower caps from our guest rooms, we are significantly reducing our environmental footprint. Instead, guests can request dry amenities by calling room service or visiting our friendly team at reception.
As part of our ongoing efforts, we have made the proactive decision to move to large format amenities, replacing our single-use plastic common amenities with eco-friendly pump dispensers throughout the hotel. By eliminating single-use plastic bottles, we are significantly reducing the amount of waste generated by our operations. This commitment aligns with our dedication to environmental stewardship and reflects our ongoing efforts to improve sustainability in all aspects of our hotel.
At Peppers Gallery, we are committed to reducing food wastage and promoting sustainable practices across our food and beverage outlets and conferencing department. We understand the importance of minimising our environmental impact while delivering exceptional culinary experiences to our guests.
At Peppers Gallery, all hotel waste is separated into co-mingle, cardboard, food waste and general waste, minimising our impact on landfill. In addition, we have taken a number of steps to further reduce water and embrace a circular system.
We are committed to maintaining strong connections with our local community and give back wherever possible.
Ngunnawal people are the Traditional custodians of the Canberra region with a continued cultural, spiritual and historical connection to the area (Ngunnawal, 2024). We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the region – the Ngunnawal people. We wish to acknowledge and respect their continuing culture and contribution they make to the life of this city and this region.
At Peppers Gallery we pride ourselves on providing a memorable and comfortable stay for guests with all abilities. Access ramps are provided for entry in and out of the hotel and restaurant, and available inside to access the library bar and boardrooms.
We also offer accessible hotel rooms which are wheelchair accessible, fit with fully appointed accessible bathrooms. While we do not accept pets at the hotel, we of course accept and welcome assistance animals.
