Keeping the Good Earth in Check
Source: www.balidiscovery.com
EarthCheck - a leading certifier of green sustainability
practice for travel and tourism organizations, has
recognized St. Regis Bali Resortand The Laguna Resort and
Spa for achieving a high standard of environmental
performance.
In winning "Silver Certified" status
from EarthCheck the two Nusa Dua properties join leading
tourism companies from more than 100 countries who have
successfully impressed a team of independent auditors with their
adherence to standards and best practice to minimize their
environmental footprints. EarthCheck rates the
effectiveness of industry efforts to reduce Greenhouse Gas
emissions (GHG) and conserve natural resources at a
project-by-project level. The data is then measured against a
number of key indicators such as energy and water consumption,
total waste production, and community commitment.
There are 6 major points that reviewed by the Auditors for both
resorts: policy, benchmarking, compliance, approach, performance
and communication. The last section details the requirements for
communicating an organisation's environmental and social
commitment, goals and objectives to all stakeholders.
Using a scientific approach for measuring the effectiveness of
their sustainability practices, The St. Regis Bali Resort
& The Laguna Resort & Spa use established benchmarks
that identify the efficacy of their green policies and point to
areas for future improvement.
Certification by EarthCheck is not a certainty; Securing
a highly-ranked benchmarking result requires a strong commitment
across all levels of an organization and the imbedding of
sustainability principles into all policies and procedures.
