REVIEWS
Reviews from hotels, restaurants products and services are the opinion of Pendour’s owners. Brands, hotels, products and service reviews are written with honesty and the views expressed are genuine and not influenced in any way.
PENDOUR ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Pendour is committed to an environmental policy and we embrace sustainability both as a way of life and in our business practice.
We try to reduce our impact on the environment by a way of working that is efficient in the use of natural resources.
WEBSITE HOSTING
Our site is hosted by GreenGeeks to reduce our impact on the environment and to maximise efficiency and minimise resource waste.
The Internet is the fastest growing carbon polluting industry. Data centres and the cooling of servers accounts for 2% of the world’s carbon emissions, as much as the airline industry! GreenGeeks offsets Pendour’s energy consumption and matches it three times over with renewable energy through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation. GreenGeeks has also planted a tree for hosting our site through the organisation One Tree Planted.
SUPPORTING THE SMALL & THE SUSTAINABLE
We review products, services, brands and hotels which have indicated a commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices. We therefore prioritise small producers, organic made, fair trade, environmentally friendly, high quality and creative innovation.
We do not support Amazon or other such companies due to their negative environmental standards, human rights issues and tax avoidance practices. We only review products from independent brands we know and trust.
Pendour is female founded and supports artists, writers, small independent businesses and start-ups.
