EarthCheck

EarthCheck is a global benchmarking and certification program, managed exclusively by EC3 Global, for a sustainable Travel and Tourism industry underpinned by the science of EarthCheck.
EarthCheck science has been developed by the Sustainable Tourism CRC (STCRC) over a period of ten years and is reviewed annually to ensure that it meets international standards relative to Greenhouse Gas Protocols and Certification.
It is based on the Agenda 21principles for Sustainable Development endorsed by 182 Heads of State at the United Nations Rio De Janeiro Earth Summit in 1992.
EarthCheck complies with the Mohonk agreement which outlines the guidelines and principles for an international sustainable tourism certification program.
EarthCheck partners with Travel and Tourism organisations to achieve and maintain good environmental and social practice, deliver maximum benefit to all interested parties and provide choice for concerned consumers using scientific rigor.
Keeping EarthCheck Standards Current
The EarthCheck Standards are living documents which reflect the progress within the science and technology pertaining to Certification for a sustainable travel and tourism industry. To maintain their currency, all EarthCheck Standards are periodically reviewed, and new editions are published. Standards may also be withdrawn.
