Emporium Hotel recognises that our activities have an effect on the environment at local and global levels. In support of this, we have made it a top priority to not only run the finest 5-star hotel in Brisbane, but additionally run a world-class state of the art sustainable development that reduces the impact we have on the environment to the greatest degree within our abilities. The Emporium Hotel South Bank is the first hotel in Australia to be EarthCheck Design Certified, ensuring the economically, socially and environmentally sustainable design and performance of the hotel is managed in respect to key standard criteria. Further sustainable strategies and policies aimed at improving the hotels environmental performance, through reducing the use of Energy, Water and Waste are continuously being implemented.
This involves training and promoting awareness within the Emporium Hotel team, and suppliers. In conjunction with striving to be the first choice provider of hotel accommodation and conference and events facilities within Brisbane, Emporium Hotel is continually striving to improve in sustainable initiatives.
These continuing and added initiatives include:
Emporium Hotel will implement the environmental action plan in accordance with the requirements of the EarthCheck Company Standard.
Emporium Hotel will comply with all relevant legislation and regulations. We strive to achieve international best practices in accommodation sustainability.
