For more than a decade now our clients have benefitted from average savings of 30 per cent for energy and waste stream, and 20 per cent savings for water consumption. That’s akin to receiving a 30 and 20 per cent discount to major operating costs and the benefits can be seen in the bottom line!
With EarthCheck Benchmarking and Certification, sustainability is not the unwieldy, ambiguous subject it can appear to be. From big business to small enterprise, the simplest of initiatives can be woven systematically into daily operations, minimising risk, maximising profit and improving guest experience. "Using Earthcheck Science we have saved an average reduction of water use of 15.3 litres per guest per night; that’s equivalent to 25.4 Olympic swimming pools. Over two years participating hotels have saved the equivalent of 45 Olympic swimming pools." Alex Fearnside, City of Melbourne, Australia EarthCheck is a web-based solution that is suitable for both large and small suitable organizations. It makes it possible to track and measure resource use and waste output, enhance design and operational efficiencies, and encourage Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
