SYDNEY HOTEL GETS SERIOUS ABOUT SUSTAINABILITY
18 March 2010, Sydney – If you thought sustainability practices were only applicable to remote, nature-bound hotels, then it pays to stop and think again! Rydges Parramatta recently achieved the prestigious Benchmarked Bronze status under the Earthcheck Benchmarking Program, which recognises the hotel’s commitment to operating at the world’s highest environmental standard.
Although few visitors would look to bustling Parramatta in the hope of locating a property that’s serious about caring for country, the slick, modern property has gone way beyond the basics to show how businesses can really make a difference.
In achieving Benchmarked Bronze status, Rydges Parramatta has had to measure its energy and water consumption, total waste production and community commitment; along with implementing an integrated environmental and social policy.
