Sustainability

Following Chelmsford City Councils’ declaration of a Climate and Ecological Emergency there has been an ongoing commitment to make the Council’s activities net-zero carbon by 2030. This led on to the creation of a Climate and Ecological Emergency Action Plan.

Hylands Estate is owned and operated by Chelmsford City Council, and we are committed to our sustainability journey. Alongside our caterer, we have developed sustainable plant-based menus that are environmentally focussed for you to consider. All meeting materials provided are also environmentally friendly.
