Earthcheck is used by travel and tourism organizations around the
world to confirm their carbon claims and guide their sustainability
initiatives.
Mount Lavinia Hotel over the past year has embedded sustainability
into the way they do business. "We have been working tirelessly in this
area and felt it important, to those involved internally, as well as all
our stakeholders, communities and business partners to seek independent,
external recognition of our efforts and we are delighted to have been
awarded Silver Benchmarking in April 2011 after a year of Bronze award
winners," GM Anura Dewapura says.
Mount Lavinia Hotel was assessed for their Green policy, simple risk
assessment, and future projects list. Earthcheck is used by travel and
tourism organizations around the world to confirm their carbon claims
and guide their sustainability initiatives.
It is the largest benchmarking, certification and management solution
in use by the tourism industry and the leading program in-market. There
are many certification products available, but few cover both
environmental and social performance and require a long term commitment
before higher levels of achievement are rewarded.
"We understand sustainability requires a long term view from our
business, a long term view that takes into consideration the needs of
future generations today," Dewapura added. |
