We had always seen ourselves as an eco-friendly organization, so when the opportunity came along to make it official, we jumped at it. We earned our first eco-certification badge in 2010, and updated that badge in 2016. Our badge provider is EarthCheck, a benchmarking group that measures the economic, social, and environmental impact of travel and tourism providers. To meet badge requirements, we make sure we track our energy use, set long-term goals for reduction, keep our stakeholders informed of our efforts, and promote green practices to our travelers.
