Take practical steps towards reducing your business’s emissions and strengthening your sustainability journey.
The Tourism Emissions Reduction program helps your business understand its estimated carbon emissions and develop a tailored emissions reduction plan through a simple, easy-to-follow online process. Developed in partnership with ERC Australia, the program is designed specifically for tourism businesses, with no expertise required.
The program recognises the positive actions your business may already be taking to reduce waste and emissions, while helping you identify realistic opportunities for further improvement. You’ll also receive a unique QR code and link to share your Tourism Emissions Reduction Commitment with visitors, partners and industry, making it easy to showcase your sustainability efforts.
With more travellers actively seeking environmentally responsible businesses, participating in the program can help your business stand out, build trust and connect with new markets.
If your business is accredited through the Sustainable Tourism, you can register and begin the Tourism Emissions Reduction program at any time via the Quality Tourism Australia portal.
