Mercure Sydney Airport goes green with Mercure Meetings
The 'Mercure Meetings' initiative promises Carbon Neutral Conferencing, ensuring the carbon footprint left behind is as light as possible.
Mercure is the first hotel brand to fully fund offsets on behalf of their meeting clientele and Mercure Sydney Airport is the only Airport hotel to offer Carbon Neutral Conferencing. This means the cost of keeping your conference Carbon Neutral is covered by us, which will ensure that greenhouse gases produced during the meeting are offset by funding efficient energy sources, at no further cost to you. For conference clients, this factor dispels the myth that being environmentally friendly is an expensive exercise.
We have teamed with the Carbon Reduction Institute to streamline the carbon offsetting process. The Institute's Carbon Calculator determines the amount of carbon emissions created by a conference, and calculates the amount of credits to be purchased from emission reduction projects or carbon trading schemes, such as the replacement of inefficient lighting and technologies with more efficient products, and replacing the use of electricity with natural gas in both domestic and business environments.
Each credit represents a reduction of emissions equivalent to 1 tonne of CO2 and is registered through the New South Wales Greenhouse abatement scheme. In addition, 10 per cent of all revenue collected from the purchase of these credits is donated to CleanUp Australia in support of their "Clean Up Our Climate" program.
