Tralee’s Rose Hotel has become the first hotel in the world to achieve a top sustainability award.

It’s been honoured with an Emerald Award by environmental educational company, Fifty Shades Greener; Emerald is the top accolade in a four-tiered system.

The Rose Hotel has reduced its carbon footprint by 32%; it’s been measuring and cutting down its energy and water use, and waste production, and created an Environmental Policy and Action Plan.
