Green Globe Lite – Sustainability And Tourism Businesses
October 21st, 2008GREEN GLOBE LITE is designed for businesses that want to start addressing Sustainability and Climate Change in the Travel and Tourism Industry.
An Online Health Check Framework
The Green Globe Lite program assesses all Key Environmental Performances Areas within a specific business to help get you started.
Program Meets International Reporting Standards
The science behind Green Globe Lite’s calculations is accepted internationally for Greenhouse Gas emissions (carbon footprint), so by measuring emissions businesses will be prepared for mandated carbon reporting.
More Specifically
The program helps operators review current business and sustainability practices and it will highlight any areas needing improvement. A simple action plan and specific suggestions are available. Areas covered in the Health Check will include:
- the development and implementation of a Sustainability Policy
- an analysis of strategies to ensure minimal energy and water use and waste production
You will be able to monitor how your energy and water consumption, and your waste production compares with similar operations in your sector.
Over time Green Globe Lite will assist you to track your performance, for example: Reduced energy consumption = Reduced Energy Bill = Increased Profit.
Recognition
When you complete the Health Check framework and meet your industry sector’s performance targets you will receive the Green Globe Lite logo and be recognised as a member of a world-wide Green Globe network – a network that is committed to a sustainable future for not only their business but also their local community.
You are encouraged to display your achievement logo, and promote your actions to your partners, staff and customers so they are aware of the steps you are taking to become a leader in Sustainability and Climate Change.
