Our Commitment in Practice
Green Globe is an internationally recognised sustainability certification developed specifically for the travel and tourism industry. Certification looks beyond individual environmental initiatives, taking a broader view of how sustainability is embedded across a hotel’s operations, from responsible resource management and reducing environmental impact to supporting people, communities and cultural heritage.
For us, achieving Green Globe certification represents more than meeting a set of standards. It provides a framework for how we continue to make considered decisions across the hotel, measure our progress and identify where we can do more. It encourages sustainability to be part of our everyday operations, from the way we use energy, water and resources to how we approach waste, procurement, partnerships and the experiences we create.
Importantly, certification is not the end of the journey. Green Globe requires ongoing assessment and continuous improvement, helping us remain accountable and ensuring our approach continues to evolve over time. As a hotel with 60 years of history in the heart of Sydney, we recognise the responsibility that comes with our legacy. Our Green Globe certification is one part of our commitment to protecting what matters today while helping shape a more sustainable future for generations to come.

These initiatives reflect an ongoing commitment to thoughtful action and measurable change.
Shaping Responsible Experiences

Energy-efficient systems are complemented by responsible resource management, including the safe disposal of electronics, batteries, and lightbulbs. These efforts ensure that essential services are delivered with accountability and care.

The Banquet department leads the GAIA Sustainability Food Waste Program, introducing longer shelf-life optimisation, improved stock control, portion management, reduced plastics, and stronger supplier collaboration.
