St Aubyn Estates Reaccredited with Green Dragon Level 5

St Aubyn Estates, including St Michael’s Mount, has been awarded Green Dragon Level 5 accreditation again in 2025. This is the second year the estate has reached the highest level within the Green Dragon Environmental Standard framework.

Maintaining Level 5 status reflects continued work to reduce environmental impact and follow good practice in areas such as carbon reduction, responsible procurement, biodiversity enhancement, waste minimisation and sustainable land management. The team recognises that these remain long-term commitments rather than achievements to rest on.

Felix St Aubyn, CEO, St Aubyn Estates, said:

“Receiving Green Dragon Level 5 for a second year is down to the dedicated, day-to-day efforts of everyone across the estate. We’re pleased to have met the standard again, but we know there’s always more to do. Our aim is simply to keep improving – whether through renewable energy, resource efficiency, or protecting biodiversity – and to look after the environment as best we can.”

The reaccreditation reflects collaborative efforts across the estate. St Michael’s Mount continues to play a part through its ongoing sustainability initiatives, from renewable energy adoption and resource efficiency improvements to community engagement in west Cornwall.

The Green Dragon Level 5 Environmental Standard is aligned with ISO 14001, an internationally recognised benchmark for environmental management. St Aubyn Estates will continue working on the practical steps needed to maintain and improve its environmental impact.
