Green Globes Benchmarking
In December 2006 Cape Cassini Wilderness Retreat was very pleased to achieve the prestigious Green Globe Benchmarked Certificate. Green Globe is the global Benchmarking, Certification and improvement system assisting the International travel and tourism industry to attain sustainability. Green Globe Certification provides a system that responds directly to the major environmental problems facing the planet such as the greenhouse effect causing planet climate change, overuse of freshwater resources, destruction of wildlife species and habitat and waste production while working in the interests of all parties to deliver maximum benefit and provide choice for concerned consumers.

We have been working towards benchmarking for two years. To achieve it we had to show better than baseline levels on specific earthcheck indicators. The best result is to receive best practice on earth checks. We received best practice in the areas of water consumption, water saving, waste recycling, community commitment and contributions, and cleaning products. Special mention was made of our commitment to our specific operation and locality:

“reflects a commendable and very positive commitment to protecting the environment and supporting the local community”

It has been fantastic to get this benchmarking because it has outlined very clearly areas which we are able to work on, and areas which we are already doing well. We have a clear guideline for the next twelve months to maintain and improve our work towards sustainability.
