Magaly Etter: A Luxury Hotel's Race to Ditch Fossil Fuels

Behind the gates of a Grade II listed country house hotel, one woman is quietly rewriting what luxury hospitality can look like. Magaly Etter, ESG Manager at Whatley Manor, walks us through the journey from stripping single-use plastic out of the spa to an ambitious plan that could take the whole property off fossil fuels by 2028 — no small feat in a building where solar panels keep getting turned down. She shares how one skeptical hotel director became one of her biggest unofficial champions, why the vast majority of a hotel's carbon footprint might not even come from the hotel itself, and what she's learned trying to live sustainably with two young kids and a house full of plastic party favours. Plus: her answer when the Pinwheel lands on Processes. The Purpose Pinwheel Podcast is co-hosted by Erica Mackay (The Marketing Detective Agency) and Becks Neale (The Brand Naturalist, Inkshed Ltd).
