Dare Ilori, group sustainability director, Merlin EntertainmentsThe economics is the icing on the cake… It’s about being a great business. Environmental sustainability has to be done, because we love the planet.
Last year, Ilori spoke at greenloop about the business case for being more environmentally friendly, highlighting how being more sustainable can help park operators save money while increasing trust with stakeholders and customers. He’s previously spoken about how sustainability professionals should “get the Board onboard” with their plans.
Carbon neutral accommodation and edible straws
In spring 2024, Legoland will open the Woodland Village, Merlin’s first operationally carbon-neutral accommodation. This will be achieved through working with The Carbon Trust to create a carbon reduction strategy that will employ sustainable technologies and energy-efficient practices.
Another recent sustainability initiative across the brand’s park portfolio is the introduction of edible straws, to reduce plastic waste and encourage guests to make greener choices.
