Sustainability is not just a corporate responsibility but a way of life that connects Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) to the communities they serve. In September, two MHR UK properties — Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington and Copthorne Hotel Manchester Salford Quays — organised litter-picking drives to promote cleaner environments and raise awareness of responsible tourism.

On 23 September, the team at Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington came together for a community clean-up in the lead-up to World Tourism Day. Beginning from the hotel and continuing through South Kensington, the team collected a total of seven kilograms of waste. By helping to keep their neighbourhood free of waste, the team contributed to safeguarding the area’s natural beauty, ensuring that guests, visitors, and residents alike can enjoy Kensington at its best.

Meanwhile, Copthorne Hotel Manchester conducted its first litter-picking activity on 22 September around the hotel and the Quayside areas, working in collaboration with Salford City Council. This was the first initiative of its kind in recent years, and the team took pride in the positive impact it had on the local environment.

Both initiatives reflect MHR’s ongoing commitment to the Green Tourism initiative, showcasing how local businesses can play a vital role in keeping cities clean, welcoming, and environmentally responsible. These efforts also serve as a reminder that even small actions can create meaningful impact and help pave the way toward a more sustainable future.
