Our eco credentials

The Deep is a charity dedicated to education and conservation and as such we feel it important to run a green and ethical organisation. You can see our Environmental Policy here.

Here are just some of the ways we try to make a difference…

We buy green energy from the grid
Recycle paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, metal, batteries, green waste, electrical products, lamps, fluorescent tubes, catering oil and printer cartridges
Our van is fully electric
We use local food suppliers and organic fairtrade products where we can
Our fish food is sustainably sourced and caught
We use FSC certified paper in our offices and have a ‘do you need to print it?' policy
We carry out a thermal imaging survey of our building and electrical equipment every year to ensure we are as energy efficient as possible
We have a charging point for electric cars in our car park
We have a reduce, reuse, recycle policy (and an if it’s broken fix it policy!)
We use LED lighting throughout our building and car park
We don’t run the building's heating or cooling systems unnecessarily, they are turned off at night and out of season
All employees have a responsibility to turn off lights and computers when not in use
Our car park ticket machines are solar powered
We compost our green waste from around our site
We sell eco-friendly products in our Deep-artment store
We sell boxed water reducing the impacts of plastics on the ocean
We installed solar panels on the roof of the Business Centre and the energy they generate is used to help power the attraction and Business Centre
The packaging in our cafe including sandwich boxes, cups, straws and salad boxes is made from Vegware - a fully compostable material that looks like plastic but is made from plants!
