Darwin Convention Centre gains EarthCheck recognition for sustainability

January 14, 2016

The Darwin Convention Centre has achieved the Bronze Benchmarking Standard through EarthCheck, the world’s leading environmental management and professional services group for the tourism and venues industry.

Commenting on the recognition, Darwin Convention Centre General Manager Janet Hamilton stated “this achievement shows the commitment of the Darwin Convention Centre to continually work to improve its performance as an environmentally sustainable events venue.

“As a large venue with significant operating requirements, it has been a key imperative to introduce a number of sustainable practices and programs to minimize the environmental footprint of the Centre.”

With an ongoing commitment to achieve the highest environmental credentials, the Darwin Convention Centre will now aim to proceed from the EarthCheck Benchmarked Bronze status to EarthCheck Certified Status.
