For over a decade, EarthCheck has been collecting information about the operational performance of over 1100 travel and tourism organisations in more than 65 countries. This Program is the largest environmental management system for the benchmarking and certification of their operational practices. Binna Burra recently undertook the annual EarthCheck assessment and came out with top green marks! As a result of doing so well, we will feature on EarthCheck’s soon-to-be launched public website. It will contain several new features that will help draw the media’s attention to organisations who are excelling in their sustainability practices and benchmark reporting. Binna Burra Lodge has been identified as one of those who rated at or above Best Practice level on eight or more indicators in our most recent Benchmark Assessment Report. In this same report, we did not fail in a single indicator! That’s an excellent achievement that we are very proud of. Environmental Officer for Binna Burra, Dean Hogg, has been working hard to accumulate and input the data required for this enviable accreditation. Facts & figures include power usage, water usage and chemical usage. EarthCheck’s Greta Tolksdorf has classed Binna Burra Lodge as being ’beyond green'.
