Crystalbrook Collection, Australia’s largest independent sustainably-led five-star hospitality group, has partnered with EarthCheck as part of an ongoing commitment to creating a more sustainable tourism industry.
EarthCheck, one of the world’s leading scientific benchmarking, certification, and advisory groups, will work with Crystalbrook to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, minimise waste, and enhance ecosystem conservation.
“Responsible Luxury, the ability to combine sustainability with luxury, is at the core of our business. Every action and decision we make will impact our environment. That’s a big responsibility.” says Crystalbrook Collection CEO Geoff York.
“This partnership will allow us to take a huge leap forward in enhancing sustainable stays, ensuring that every guest that stays with us can feel good knowing they are travelling with a lighter footprint,” he said.
Existing sustainability initiatives at Crystalbrook Collection include operating a single-use plastic-free environment, sourcing at least 80% of restaurant produce from within a three-hour drive of each hotel, implementing technology to create paperless user experiences, and using recycled upcycled materials.
EarthCheck Founder and CEO Stewart Moore noted that “EarthCheck is excited to be working with the Crystalbrook Collection to support its long-term commitment to Responsible Luxury. In a post COVID environment, today’s travellers are seeking transformational experiences that are safe and sustainable.”
In October this year, Crystalbrook Collection launched Sustainability Month to shine the spotlight on additional environmental innovations from using food sources that would be wasted, distilling a signature gin with locally foraged botanicals, and planting a tree for each guest stay along with honey harvesting and bee education.
