Sustainability

Our Environmental Policy is designed to improve performance and efficiency and to encourage responsible behaviour in staff, guests, business partners and the communities with whom we interact.

A “circular economy” is where nothing is wasted, and all materials are reused in some form. At Marwell, we’re working toward achieving this and becoming an organisation where nothing escapes into the environment.

Marwell Zoo has become the first of its kind to generate renewable energy using animal waste. Zoo poo from endangered species such as Grevy’s zebra, Scimitar-horned oryx, and African wild ass will heat our largest buildings using biomass technology.

The global concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has risen and at the same time the impacts of climate change have been become ever more apparent. Learn more about our mission toward reducing carbon!
