Sustainability

The Priory Rooms Green Story

Rooted in Quaker values of stewardship, simplicity, and integrity, The Priory Rooms is deeply committed to providing a sustainable and responsible venue for all our clients. This commitment is embedded in every aspect of our operations, from our infrastructure to our daily practices. The building is powered by 100% renewable electricity and features a Building Management System to optimise heating and cooling, significantly reducing energy consumption. Our longstanding dedication to sustainability is highlighted by The Priory Rooms being amongst the first locations in Birmingham with electric car charging points.

Our daily operations are also managed carefully to minimise our impact, upholding the principle of wise resource use. Surplus food is donated to the homeless charity Lets Feed Brum, with any remaining food waste being sent to be converted to green energy. Meanwhile, rainwater is collected and stored for use in flushing toilets and watering the garden, helping to reduce the amount of water used. Through these deliberate choices, guided by our Quaker heritage, we provide a modern conference setting that actively contributes to environmental wellbeing and a more sustainable future.
