ECOsmart sustainability certification launches in Australia through partnership with Discover the World
A new partnership between Greengage Solutions and Discover the World has brought the ECOsmart sustainability certification programme to the Australian accommodation and events sector.
ECOsmart is an established sustainability certification designed specifically for hotels and event venues, helping organisations measure, manage, improve, and prove their environmental impact. The certification process aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, helping organisations adopt a structured, credible approach to sustainability.
With an increasing focus on sustainability across the Australian travel and tourism sectors, ECOsmart offers a structured and credible framework to support more responsible travel and event delivery.
Discover the World will lead the rollout in Australia working with hotels, venues, destinations, and industry partners to introduce the programme and support adoption across the market.
Andrew Perolls, CEO, Greengage Solutions, said: “Australia is a key market for the future of sustainable travel and events. Through our partnership with Discover the World, we’re able to bring ECOsmart to the region in a way that is locally relevant while aligned with global best practice.”
Jeannie Foster, Director Australia, New Zealand and Philippines, Discover the World, commented: “We’re excited to introduce ECOsmart to Australia. The industry is looking for practical tools to support sustainability goals, and ECOsmart provides a clear pathway for venues and organisers to take action and demonstrate progress.”
The launch represents a step forward in supporting Australian travel and tourism with tools and frameworks that deliver a fresh approach to sustainability certification to enable more sustainable, measurable outcomes.
